1. Fan 'hit on head by bin' dies.
"A FOOTBALL fan critically injured at a Premier League match yesterday died in hospital, police said today."
I have chosen this story because the headline of the story seems somewhat comical, to be hit by a bin and died. However, this isn't a laughing matter and it is a real story. I have also chosen this story because it seems like a scene you would find in 'Final Destination', and from this you can create elements of thrilling and suspense attributes.

2. British UFO files were censored.
"THE Ministry of Defence had to blank out 'uncomplimentary comments' made by officials about members of the public before publishing its UFO files, a newly released documents shows."
I have chosen this article because it would be perfect for a sci-fi/detective type thriller genre. This article provides the idea of having some sort of secret service agency involved such as MI5, with hi - tech devices and gadgets, which are plotting against or trying to prevent the general public from knowing the truth. This would be a good idea for a thrilling opening.

3. Pope enters airport body scanners row.
"Benedict addresses plans for 'virtually naked' passenger images, telling airport bosses personal integrity must be safeguarded."
I have chosen this article as it gave me the idea of a religious thriller genre. By displaying religous aspects in the thriller, it would give a base for our thriller sequence, such as, conflicts between different minorities/religions in society.
