Fox news: [] (from The Sun at: [])

Synopsis- A 38 year-old man named Anton Turner was trampled by a stampeding elephant while filming a TV show in Tanzania. The rest of the party got out safely. At the time of the articles it was not known why the elephant charged. Anton was a former army man and an expedition guide with lots of safari experience.

Opinion- I think that they probably got too close to the wildlife and it was spooked. I hope Mr. Turner’s family will be able to recover from this tragedy. I believe that elephant is not likely to be a danger to other humans, elephant usually try to avoid contact with humans and this elephant is on a preserve that is the largest in Tanzania. Similarity, differences- The Sun news article has more information than the BBC article. The Fox News artyicle is only a shortened version of the Sun article, and really doesn’t have much information. Both BBC and the Sun used several of the same quotes. The Sun provided a little more background information on Mr. Turner.
