   This blog post is about a historic building in Washington, D.C exploding. The name of the building was "Emmanuel Bucio." The cause of the explosion and massive fire is under further investigation. The incident happened late Monday night. Everywhere we seem to look these days there is some type of devastation surrounding us and the country we live in. This affects our country and it's issues with maintaining safety and security, which is the governments job to do. Terrorism and violent outbreaks is a major problem in our country today, especially with the recent issues with discrimination we have been facing.

   Suicide numbers have escalated a severe amount over the years and much of these has been attached to social media. Social media has started taking a stand and providing larger prevention of suicide incidents. Online social enjoyment should not be harmful for others and bullying should not be such a huge online issue, especially for the younger generation. Social media sites are taking steps in general for people to feel more safe and be more accessible to people with special needs within their site. Facebook has even come up with a tool for describing the pictures posted to blind people. This issue relates to the fact of people feeling like the government, along with these sites need to make effort for safe internet usage for people. Social media is meant to connect people to the world around them and a huge importance should be placed on connections with others around us.

    The US has probably been curious about some details about living under ISIS, well this video gives some of that information. The people who were living under ISIS fled and now had to also flee their village because of a threat from ISIS, so now these reporters are with them in their "safe spot." Women don't have shoes on, had to leave valuable possessions behind, children were crying, overall it was just a horrific situation. They are hungry, but they are thankful to be away for ISIS, who killed people who smoked, they took phones, they starved people.
