Virginia Tech Tragedy

What a horrible day. I’ve received several inquires today from a couple mainstream media outlets (CBS Evening News, Washington Post) regarding the tragedy that has unfolded today at Virginia Tech. A blog post I wrote on the last shooting that occurred in August 2006 has been getting a lot of traffic today as everyone has been scrambling for news as the events unfolded in Blacksburg.

I was unable to provide any additional information today as luckily I wasn’t on campus. I was working at a client site in the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center nearby, as the class I teach is only on Tuesday/Thursday.

For the best news and updates on this situation, visit Planet Blacksburg, a student-run news site. Numerous locals have also been twittering throughout the day. My twitter updates are here.

  1. My thoughts and prayers are with your Va Tech family. Unbelievable. As an engineering postdoc, when I first heard that Norris Hall was an engineering building, I felt a special affinity with the victims, possibly people I know. I am in the process of starting a blog resource for grad students and post-docs. More details to follow later, especially after we come to grips with this ordeal. For now, Tom, I hope yo keep in touch with you (just switched to Mac, big GTD fan, and aspiring blogger)and to tap into your knowledge and expertise. Again, my condolences.
