April 16th: Virginia Tech Remembers
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 Monday 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.

this book was purchased as a favor to my sister-in-law as a gift for her son and daughter-in-law, both of whom are graduates of VT. She said it appeared to be new and she was pleased with the prompt arrival.

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. Let's Go Hokies!!!
