Major World News Stories of 2010

Tiger Woods:

One major news story of 2010 was the fall from grace of the golfing icon, Tiger Woods. It was reported that Tiger had a very angry wife who broke a golf club on his car, which caused him to wreck his expensive automobile. The stories stated that Mrs. Woods had been informed of an affair between Tiger and another woman, resulting in the golf club attack. During the weeks following that event, many women came forward claiming to have had affairs with Tiger. One by one, the world watched his supposed mistresses being interviewed on television about their affairs with the golfing professional.

After having been dropped by many of his sponsors, his wife and multiple fans, Tiger is currently “very excited about the future”, according to People Magazine.

The Chilean Miners:

In Chili, an underground mine experienced an explosion and all the miners who were underground at the time of the event, were presumed to be dead. The Chilean Miners’ story became a miracle news story after the realization of potential survivors was reported. All 33 of the survivors were trapped underground for 69 days, until one by one they were rescued from their would-be tomb. The question among many was “What exactly took so long to get them out?” One reporter at CBS News reported on that fact as well. That story explains that reporter’s scientific reasons as to why the rescue of the miners should not have taken multiple months to accomplish.

The Haiti and Chile earthquakes:

Two devastating earthquakes occurred during the first few months of 2010, in Haiti and in Chili; they caused the deaths of hundreds of people and the misplacement of millions more. The events were reported by major world news organizations, and news viewers watched the homeless families in those countries, as they tried to survive in the aftermath of the quakes. Some interesting facts about those two earthquakes were the speculations that the two were related and the fact that the earthquake in Chili was caused by the devastating one that had occurred in 1960. The Slate also discussed that suggestion.

Snowmaggedon:

The winter snowstorm of January and February of 2010, dubbed “Snowmaggedon” by CNN, became a major news story when a huge winter blizzard hit the middle Atlantic states. Snowmaggedon cut electrical power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. News reports stated that the blizzard would break records. Snowmaggedon heavily devastated Washington, DC and the President had to take extra precautions when leaving the White House.

The Repeal of DADT:

“Don’t ask, don’t tell”, (DADT), as stated in a CNN report, was repealed and signed into law, by Obama on December 22, 2010. Former President Clinton had enacted DADT, in 1993 and it had allowed gays to serve in the military, but they were not allowed to admit to being gay, and no one in the military was allowed to ask any soldiers about their sexuality. The repeal of DADT in 2010 allows them to openly serve in the military. This major news story resulted in many divided opinions in America, as to whether or not DADT should have been repealed.

The Economy:

There was a deluge of economical news stories from all over the world in 2010. The US economy spiraled down wildly during 2010, leaving many people in America with fears of homelessness, starvation or worse. A well-known economist, Mike Whitney, predicted in December of 2009, that 2010 would be “The Year of Severe Economic Contraction”, according to a story at Global Research. Mr. Whitney has been correct regarding his dire economic predictions for 2010, and his warnings for the 2011 economy are even worse.

North and South Korea:

On November 23, 2010 the North Korean military fired on a small island, which belongs to South Korea, in what Reuters called the “fiercest attack in decades.” This major world news story of 2010 created fear and panic in many, and some commentators stated that the date of the attack could possibly go down in history as the start date of World War Three.

The U.S. November Elections:

The historic United States elections of November 2010 were hailed as a victory for conservatives throughout the country. Republican candidates, both nationally and locally, were voted into office in the largest numbers since 1948. The election raised questions as to how effective the U.S. Democratic President could be with a Congress largely composed of Republicans. That question was repeatedly discussed in major news stories throughout the world. An informative article written at RealClearPolitics reported some of the interesting facts of that election.

The BP Oil Spill:

On April 20, 2010, an explosion on a British Petroleum (BP) oil rig, the “Deepwater Horizon”, located off the Louisiana coast, made world headline news for months. The April explosion, which killed 11 people, was the third serious incident involving BP. Afterwards, the oil spill was reportedly contained, but rumors surfaced about the possibility of cleanup workers becoming sickened after working at the BP spill site. Local residents reported that “tar balls” had washed up on the beaches and that the Gulf was no longer safe.

Many other people began to file lawsuits as a result of losing their incomes after President Obama declared a six-month moratorium against drilling in the Gulf. An interactive timeline of the events from the beginning of the spill through September 2010 was outlined in an article from The Guardian .

The Wikileaks Scandal:

Julian Assange, founder of the website “Wikileaks”, reportedly had received many secret U.S. government documents, and Assange began to publish the reports, known as “cables”, on the World Wide Web. The cables were reportedly sent to Assange by a private in the U.S. Army. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, apologized to a few international heads of state for derogatory remarks about them that had been quoted in the cables. Assange was called a terrorist, and some have called him a hero.

The NY Daily News reported that Time Magazine’s readers voted for him to become Time’s Person of the Year. Assange’s recent tempting suggestions that there are more government documents yet to be revealed, suggests that the scandal will continue. Internet rumors still abound that the future cables may also involve UFO information. Let us hope that the major world news stories of 2011 will be less severe than those of 2010.

I would have no problem sending Dan Rather to the mountains of Afghanistan. And as long as he’s going, send Chris Mathews and Katie Couric with him!
