My Top Stories of the Century

American bomber Enola Gay dropped a five-ton bomb on the Japanese city Hiroshima.

I think this was one of the top stories in the 1900s because this has effected our relationship with Japan today. The bomb killed 90,000 - 146,000 people and about half of them were on the first day of the bombing. That, in my opinion, is WAY too many people, but it created an unforgettable time in history.

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in a car on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, TX.

This one means a lot to me personally because it was so close to my hometown and it was one of the most recent huge events in history and I consider it one of the most important things in the 20th century. Even though I didn't know JFK, obviously, I can imagine the horror in others.

An Earthquake hits San Francisco on April 18, 1906.

This event made one of the top stories for me because I've never been in an earthquake and I would never want to experience one. My family has been in one and I just thank god I haven't.
