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 began like any other Monday at Virginia Tech, with professors and students preparing for another busy week of classes. On the other hand, word quickly circulated of a shooting in the dorms – and the gunman used to be still loose. The campus went into lockdown, and because 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, along 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 workforce who lived through the shooting, and serves as a memorial for the 32 sufferers. The book also describes the onslaught of media coverage that right away followed, and reveals the remarkable resilience of the students of Virginia Tech right through all of the ordeal.
