Main headline/story idea: Two Local Teens Stuck In The Mud

Two Teen Stuck In The Mud

This will be the title of my main story, which is obviously about two teenagers that have gotten stuck in the mud. My location for this story will be the sea front in Portishead, which will appeal to my readers as it is a well known family location for people who live in the area and for tourists which have come to the location for a family holiday. It is also very popular for a drinking destination for teenagers wanting to have a good time with their friends. So through this I have targeted a large audience because of my location. 

The story will be based around two teenagers which after drinking alcoholic beverages and having a good time out around the park, decide to take a walk along the sea front but then ignore the signs of which tell them that it can be deadly if you go out too far. A group of five first went down, where two of the male teenagers thought it would be a good idea to take it to the next level and go beyond the signs, whilst the three other teenagers stayed behind. It wasn't long after 11pm when the three others alerted the police as the two male teenagers called out in the darkness. Although the shouts where unclear it was obvious that they where afraid and unable to get back to safety. The police arrived around 11 15pm, as the crowd gathered around the sea wall, questions arose asking what was happening. Three of the the friends which where earlier with the two male youths where interrogated by a local police officer which first came across the scene. This is when it first came apparent that alcohol had been consumed, as they weren't easily understood and slurred majority of their explanations of what had happened earlier that night before the incident. It soon came obvious that the police could not do this alone as they could not easily pull the two boys out of the mud they had to call in reinforcements, so they called the local fire-fighters. By 12am the fire-fighters had appeared on the scene, getting knowledge from the police as to what had happened. Although not a lot of equipment was used to detach the youths from the mud, the fire-fighters used numbers and the hose which they told them to grab onto whilst they forcefully pulled in attempt to get them out of the thick mess. Once out the two boys, still slightly intoxicated and covered in mud, got their clothes washed off and returned safely to their friends and family along the sea front path.
