Recently, there was a fire in the Channel Tunnel on the French side of Eurostar. The train was heading from Folkestone in England to Coquelles in France when one of the car transporters caught on fire and suspended traffic. No trains were in service during the time. Emergency came quickly and fortunately, no one was hurt.
The article was written by BBC. They bring all the latest news around the world and the headquarters are in the UK. It was written on November 29, 2012 at 11:15 Eastern Time. It was written quickly after the accident. I didn't know anything about this but now I know that Eurostar is the name of their transportation services (kind of like ours is DART). This was written to give anyone information. It's negative in the sense that there was a fire in the first place but the positive side is that everyone was safe. This article was written to give information on what's going on in the UK/France. The point is that there was a fire but everyone is safe. It's important because it told us about an accident. One of our relatives could have been on that train and we wouldn't have known if no one told the news. Someone could have gotten hurt and no one would know so it's very relevant.
