Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had a 9 O'Clock class that day in Intro American Government. I had not seen the news before entering class and heard about the airline crash as I came out of class. I immediately tried to find out more info on online, but the lines were jammed. Finally, I went out and bought a radio so everyone in the dept. could hear what was happening. Like everyone else, I was stunned and the rest of the day was spent watching the events on tv ond talking through the events with friends. The deliberate, single-mindedness of the act struck us all as hard as the number of deaths. There was no goal to the destruction-no hostages to release, no policy to change, no specific act to protest. People died because they were in a building which was a symbol of America to fanatics. The university held multi-faith candle-light vigils and a series of symposiums on Islam, Terrorism, and American policies to help people deal with the event. The aftershocks are still occuring, but the initial question remains unanswered: What kind of mind plans and condones such an unprovoked attack on innocent people because they are different.
