John Wells was driving near the mouth of Middle Fork when his car was covered in black wastewater. He saw that the valley below the dam was covered in an ominous layer of black waste. Wells tried to warn the residents of Buffalo Creek of the impending disaster but was unable to use the phone due to power outages. He was powerless to warn Buffalo Creek of the impending disaster.

In the town of Johnstown they had steal industries that were booming, and it gave steady paychecks to the workers who worked really hard and long shifts of 12 hours long 6 days a week. Since the town was in a valley with hills surrounding it, it didn't have much of a chance if a flood ever occurred. But the people of Johnstown had no idea of the risk they were at.

Did you know that 129, 864, 880 books have been published in recorded history? Well, I think that one of those 129 million books should be added to our St. Gregory’s Library shelves. I would like to convince you to add the book Divergent, by Veronica Roth, to the shelves of our library.

Divergent should be available to Years 5 & 6 students to read.

Their image just like the ones on the wall of the house were burned into the minds and the imaginations of the readers as they became silhouettes of their last moments alive. It was also indicated that “at night the ruined city gave off a radioactive glow which could be seen for miles” which confirmed the definite occurrence(s) of radioactive activity that took place in the area (Bradbury Rains 1).

A co-worker saw him and made a comment on his looks which lead me to reply saying it’s unfair to make impertinent comments on random people.
