Timing - 4/4

This news article was updated Halloween day and it is based on an incident of three teen being killed by a Via train while making graffiti. The other two teens survived.

I believe this story has a high significance because not only were the families and friends of the teen affected, but the train driver and passengers would be affected as well.

Proximity - 2/4

This incident took place in Montreal, Canada. It is fairly close so the proximity is medium.

Prominence - 1/4

The names of the teens killed have not been given, therefore, the prominence is low.

The human interest of this story is about mid-way because they were young and parents and families would be emotionally affected by the tragedy.
