Leads #2

A US airplane killed all 131 passengers yesterday after crashing into the ground outside Pittsburgh just after departure from Chicago, making this the worst US air disaster in the past 3 years.



EDIT: 131 passengers were killed when a US airplane crashed just outside Pittsburgh yesterday, making this the worst US air disaster in the past 3 years.

This makes it sound like the airplane killed everyone. Be careful how you phrase things -- it was the crash that killed them, not the airplane.

You also have a fact error: "...outside Pittsburgh just after departure from Chicago...." If the plane just left Chicago, it can't be outside Pittsburgh yet.

Please rewrite it and notify me when you've corrected it.

P.S. You don't need to put the fact set on your blog, just your lead.
