the biggest story or 2011

What was the biggest story of 2011 ? There was a lot of huge stories in the year 2011 but I think that the largest story of 2011 was the killing of Osama bin Laden. I think this was the largest story because Osama was a very known man, but he was only really known for killing people. He had people that cherished his presents and even tho he murdered many people, people were still trying to help him find spots where he could go to keep from getting court by the cops. When he got killed it caught many peoples attention, some people were happy, some were mad, and some thought that this would cause a large war. When I heard this story the first thing I thought about was what will happen next.  Will we have another war?  Or will the situation just pass by? Even tho this event happened months ago this is still a huge discussion in the homes and environments of many people. I still think that this will continue to be a huge discussion in 2012. So with all of that being said that is why i think the story of the death of Osama bin Laden was the most popular and most talked about in the year of 2011.
