Tragedy Week in the USA

http://miami.cbslocal.com/2013/04/16/mid-april-often-brings-tragedy/
                It’s been a terrible, emotional rollercoaster this week in the United States. Not only have bad things been happening in 2013, the month of April in history reveals many more things that simply should never have happened. Let’s begin with dates and evidence from sources: The Elite Daily and CBS Miami.
·         April 15th:

-1865, assassination of Abraham Lincoln

-1912, sinking of the Titanic

-2013, Boston Marathon Bombings

·         April 16th:

-2007, Virginia Tech University Massacre

·         April 17th:

-1961, Bay of Pigs invasion fails

-2013, West Fertilizer Company explosion near Waco (in West Texas)

·         April 18th:

-1983, terrorist attack by suicide bomber destroys US Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon

-1906, magnitude 7.8 earthquake rocks San Francisco and northern California

·         April 19th:

-1995, Oklahoma City Bombing

·         April 20th:

-1999, Columbine High School shooting

-1889, Adolf Hitler was born

-2010, oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Gulf coast
            Why do bad things happen? Why are all tragedies happening at once? The USA is going through some rough times. There are some sick people in the world, and some natural disasters that there is just no way of preventing. We need change and a trend of good to happen for America. Please pray for all bad to go away.  (211)
