Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A gripping, emotional account of the worst school shooting in United States history, told by those who lived through it
Monday, April 16, 2007 started like any other Tuesday at Virginia Tech, with professors and students preparing for another busy week of classes. However, word quickly circulated of a shooting in the dorms - and the gunman was still loose. The campus went into lockdown, and as the gruesome events unfolded in Norris Hall, a group of journalism students trapped in a nearby building transmitted stories and updates to the student-run website, PlanetBlacksburg.com.
Now, these students, together with their journalism instructor and members of the Virginia Tech community, have documented the events of that day. April 16th: Virginia Tech Remembers gives a voice to the students, faculty, and staff who lived through the shooting, and serves as a memorial for the 32 victims. The book also describes the onslaught of media coverage that immediately followed, and reveals the remarkable resilience of the students of Virginia Tech throughout the entire ordeal.

I am a Virginia Tech alumnus and I just finished this book. It amazes me that in spite of all the tragedy, the Tech community showed its strength in numbers and will overcome this in time.
