                                                      Cause of the Weber County Fire
         Earlier this morning at eight AM there was an accident involving two trucks, and one of the trucks contained diesel fuel in it.  The fuel was scattered onto the westbound and east bound lanes, and then the fire roared to life.  They then closed I-84.  Fortunately, one of the truck drivers was sent to the hospital with minor injuries.  The resources I selected told nothing of the second driver.  My resources were KSL/news.com and fox13now.com.


                                 People go to National Parks Even Though They are Closed
                     As I'm sure you all know by now that the government shut down and so the national parks closed down with it.  Even though the government closed there were still national parks with business because the people didn't care what the government.  In fact, the business doubled.  One example of this is at Dead Horse Point.  At this national park there was three hundred fifty cars that came the day before Dead Horse Point closed.  Then the next day five hundred eighty eight cars came to the national park.  Fortunately, the government has reopened and the national parks are reopening as well.  My resources were KSL/news.com and fox13now.com.


                                                  Forged Papers for Released Prisoners
          On September seventeenth Joseph Jenkins was released from the prison that confined him to a lifetime imprisonment. The reason for his lifetime punishment in the Franklin Correctional Institution was because he murdered the dad of a family of six kids.  Then another prisoner named Charles Walker was released from the same prison which bound Joseph in Florida.  Charles got released from prison on October eighth.  The documents for the prisoners read that they could get released early, when the were confined to the prison to live out their days.  Documents from the crime have told us that they were forged and the only thing that was correct about them was the chief judge's (of the case) signature.  Though, Perry (the chief judge) didn't sign the false documents.  The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has been seeking out more information about the forged documents. There is also a search for the dangerous criminals.  My resources were www.foxnews.com and abcnews.go.com.
