Venezuelan President Eluded Assassination
.
Summary:
The Venezuelan President was giving a speech live at a military ceremony, oblivious to the looming danger as two bomb-laden drones crept up on him. The Grim Reaper’s strike narrowly missed its mark, however, due to the timely intervention of the soldiers, who knocked one drone off course before it could get the President literally in the face. With the second drone deviating from its intended path, the assassination attempt, akin to one from a Hollywood film, ended in failure.

Language Enhancement:
Akin (adj.)(類似的)
Akin 的意思等同 like (adj.) 和 similar (adj.)，但語氣偏向正式，用法是 be + akin to + sth.（不能寫 akin to sb.）。
e.g. Have you tried linguini? It’s akin to spaghetti except for the shape of the pasta, which is flatter.
e.g. I can’t really tell what kind of language I just heard them speak. It sounded something akin to Thai.
