Librescu, an Israeli, was born in Romania and was known internationally for his research in aeronautical engineering, Puri wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

Granata and his students researched muscle and reflex response and robotics. Puri called him one of the top five biomechanics researchers in the country working on movement dynamics in cerebral palsy.

Also killed was Ryan Clark, a student from Martinez, Ga., who had several majors and carried a 4.0 grade-point average, said Vernon Collins, coroner in Columbia County, Ga."


I had to make a correction there was a typo in this article!!!

 

^ noted.

 

"loner" not "loser" right? CNN just said "loner"

 

Mike,

Glad to hear that you and your friends are ok...my prayers are with you and the community out there. Keep us posted bro!

 

good to know you guys are doing ok....

and **** Phelps inconsiderate, and completely uncalled for ........

 

Sly was just stating the word they should have used to describe him.

 

I have no problems spending a few nights in jail. Wouldn't be the first time. If you need/want help with Phelps and his group of flunkies, let me know, ill be there in a heartbeat.

 

The magnitude of this is incredible. Support the families, they need it in these hours. We just passed a law here that limits wackos at funerals. Unfortunately, the press is not so easily controlled. It's hard to think about it all.

 

Professor Librescu, an Israeli, was born in Romania and was known internationally for his research in aeronautical engineering.

He was a Holocaust survivor.... died on the international Holocaust Rememberence day, shot & killed while barricading the door with his body while his students evacuated thru the windows.

My heart goes out the all the families of the murdered & injured.

Over here we know all about tragedy of this size, but I only have to worry about certain people who are my sworn enemies, I cannot fathom having to fear my classmates or co-workers as well.

 

Don't hurt 'em too bad man.

Talked to my friend today... she was in the building next to Norris Hall and heard it go down. She used to stay in West AJ when she was a freshman.

 

wait who's Phelps ?

 

some sort of attention ***** activist bastard that has no right to show his face in public. His group of peons show up at innocent unsuspecting victims funerals and protest that they are glad they died, among other forms of protest and "picketing". Very disturbing to a family or friends in mourning, this national incident should be treated with utmost respect and anyone "protesting/preaching" making derogatory remarks or univited should be sued for defamation, and then castrated.

 

wow that's ****ed up, someone needs to beat the **** outta this ****er

 

This was forwarded to me, not sure if anyone else has seen it.

 

just finished up this mix: http://www.hokiewar.net/VTRemembrance.mp3

 

My fiance lived on the 4th floor of West AJ freshman year and I lived on the 5th floor, its just weird to think about the place I walked by every day to get to her room is now a crime scene.

Guys - the group on facebook I mentioned before is growing exponentially. I started it a little over 24 hours ago and we are rapidly approaching 4,000 members. If you have a facebook account and want to check it out, http://vt.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2310783740 is the address.

Again I appreciate all the concern, prayers, and thoughts. Now its time to take action, a peaceful action, and make sure what is sacred to us is not desecrated by psychotic fundamentalist terrorists (Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church).

Steve, I really enjoyed the soundmix, thanks for posting that.

I am coming home for the week tomorrow. If anyone wants to meet up this weekend just say the word, we can do positive things extremely easily.

 

Just wanted to say that im glad to see that everyone in this community is ok and best of wishes to the family and friends of all the lives lost at VT.

and Phelps makes me sick. to actually think that what he along with his ignorant followers does is crazy. Keep Him away from the VT community!

 

WOW, now, that is very moving...
My prayers go out to all the families and friends..

 

glad to hear you are ok (Ziablo and MrPratt). My sympathies to everyone involved...

I was with a friend who was shot and killed at UMBC a couple of years ago, and although its nowhere near the same magnitude I understand what it is like . It really burns to think about what so many people must be going through right now, and all so senseless


If there is some way to help let me know.

 

my prayers go out to all you hokies and family members..
one hokie friend is coming back home tomorrow after there is less traffic.
