Why is present tense used in the headline?
Possible answers:
This is a specific use of the verb tense known as the historical present, which means using a present tense verb to describe an event that has already happened.
When writing a narrative of a past event, the use of the present tense gives the reader a more immediate sense of involvement. Newspaper headlines are narrative hooks to draw the reader into a story, not purely descriptive text.
