Worst Things that Happened in 2017

The worst shooting in U.S. history: 500 hurt or badly wounded, while 59 tragically died. The weapon the shooter had can be heard in the disturbing recordings made at the site.

After a while, the police finally stepped in, and Stephen Paddock took himself out after literally preparing for the tragedy he caused.

We almost got involved in this shooting! Good thing we left a day before it happened. If we were still there (doesn't matter if we were out or staying at the hotel), our entire vacation would have been completely destroyed. A great family vacation would have become a horrible family vacation death nightmare!

I have held Linkin Park close to my heart since I was 12. While I thought One More Light was by far their worst album, I still thought it was pretty good. I look back on the lyrics and get an insight into what Chester was thinking during this time.

While he only co-wrote two songs, he still sold me on the ones he didn't write, so I believed he was going through a dark time. This was especially saddening as I had tickets to see them in concert just two weeks after he died.

He was a great singer, a talented artist, an icon of Linkin Park as well as rock music, and then he passed away. July 20 will be remembered as one of the darkest days not just for Linkin Park but for rock music as well. RIP

It was a Category 5 hurricane and the strongest to hit the U.S. since Hurricane Katrina. It was still a Category 5 when it hit Cuba but downgraded to a 4 when it reached the Florida Keys, where much damage occurred, along with storm surges and flooding.

As it traveled inland, it downgraded to a Category 2 but left millions of people without power. Trees fell on houses and people. The power outages caused problems with gasoline prices. Recently, a nursing home lost power, including AC, and became so hot inside that eight people died.

The total death toll so far is 102, and it will continue to be monitored. This has been an awful time for 2017 and a terrible way to end summer as we go through this hard and difficult crisis.

Having it occur on the day of 9/11 was truly shocking and remarkable. No 9/11 jokes about Irma or anything like that.

I live in Texas and visited that church before. I heard there were so many young kids. It was the worst shooting in Texas history.

This should be higher than Kim Kardashian getting pregnant. Disappointed.

Chester's death above a plane crash? I respect him, but this should be higher.

Turkish Airlines Flight 6491 was the flight name. Very sad incident.

Thirty-two people were killed in a plane crash.

This has already been a horrible start to 2017. We were hoping for a good new year, but this just ruined it.

Florida's fourth attack in a row: first Orlando, then Fort Myers, Miami, and now this. Horrible.

This airport soon got hit by Hurricane Irma. Why does Florida always get unlucky this year?

My friends were there. Hopefully, they didn't die, and I am so grateful for that!

It was like Nice, France. A terrorist rammed people with a truck. Nice had 85 people killed, while only 5 were killed in this attack, but still, terror is horrible.

My feelings go out to the victims, their families, and everyone who was on that train.

I love the movie, but Luke should never die. It makes me extremely sad, but I still enjoyed the film.

Poor Ariana Grande and poor people who died. I am so sad that this happened. All those innocent kids who were involved, I hope they're all okay.

P.S. Ariana is amazing, considerate, and kind. She literally went out of her way and had pity for all those suffering and dying by doing a One Love Manchester Concert. She is something else, wow. She's a strong, brave woman with a good heart, and I love how she was kind enough to visit all these victims in the hospital. I love you, Ariana Grande. You're a saint! God bless you, and I hope all is well.

At least he can now see his parents again.

It was so sad. He brought so many laughs, and I have been watching him since 2013. 2017 really, really sucks.

We lost three civilians in the attack because someone did this.

He was an awesome hockey player and later became the principal of my old high school.

He was the last person on the moon and the one who took the photo of Earth in Apollo 17, the most famous photo of all time.

We'll never forget him or his accomplishments.

And he was 82, the same age Neil Armstrong was when he died.

She was a good actress on The Suite Life on Deck, then went downhill on Shake It Up.

Things got downright ugly when she started dating Sam Pepper, the worst YouTuber of all time. He rapes people and pretended to kill someone as pranks. Just horrible. I can't believe someone would do that.

Why the heck is this behind Donald Trump winning? I live in the affected area and am so fortunately blessed to have not been affected. However, I have friends and family who have lost everything. This should not even compare to something as silly as the election.

This is horrible! We couldn't believe Houston would face perhaps its worst fear, yet we thought they were prepared. This is definitely Houston's worst year in ages.

This cost the USA billions of dollars. Many people died from this, and houses and families were destroyed.

Let's hope Trump can end ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Then he won't be a bad president after all.

First, we had Hurricane Harvey, which hit Texas. Then we had Hurricane Irma, which hit Barbuda and Florida. Now we have Hurricane Maria, which blasted Puerto Rico.

Pray for everyone and the world.

Remember 1859, when the world lost power to a solar storm? Well, Puerto Rico is experiencing a similar event, at least all of Puerto Rico.

This is the modern-day Carrington event for Puerto Rico.

All of Puerto Rico lost power, and many deaths are expected.

From famine and diseases, we are seeing a nightmare in Puerto Rico. Pray for Puerto Rico.
