This is crazy, the tragedy in VT..

"An air of unreality hangs over the small town of Blacksburg, home of Virginia Tech University and scene of the worst gun rampage in US history. "

This is a truly tragic event, reminded me the movie, "Elephant....," another tragic event happend in High school in US.

This whole accident made me wonder why this kinda tragedy had happend. Was it preventable? Was it just because of gunman's own individual problem or it's rather casued by socio-problems?

It's too shocking ....that not only the scale of those who were died, but also it was done by ethnic Korean. I cannot believe that just happened. All I could do is praying for the victims and their families.

Below website is where you can send our condolescene to those who lost their beloved one.. oh god...this is insane.

Crazy stuff indeed.
But it also shows the power of the media. Countless people die in Iraq everyday and nobody cares. Does it make it less tragic because it happens more often there. The university there has had 2 suicide bombers already blowing up more then 50 innocent students so far. But it is all tragic and sad.

Just found out that 8 scientists (probably grad students)that were working on a project of ours were killed at V tech. I never met them though. Still weird.
