G) Within the article a variety of techniques have been used. Throughout the whole piece it could be percieved that some of the statements are hyperbolic as they portray the incident to be a near catostrophic accident without giving little information with regards to how the incident happened or details on how close the collision was. This is likely to be used to create a more dramtic article and thefore intrigue a larger audiance. Furthermore, within the title the bold caps phrase 'AGAIN' reinforces this and foreshadows the content of the article as it later describes his previous crashes.
