 A terrible day once again in the US as a crazed gunman carried out a masacre
on the campus at Virginia Tech University. A student, Jamal Albarghouti was outside
the Engineering Building (Norris Hall) capturing the mayhem in video via a Nokia
N70 camerphone.
No doubt the images and sounds of this day will ring out loud and reach many
people around the Globe very quickly. Once again camerphone technology has brouhgt
these images to World and will no doubt help in putting together a timeline.
Students and many others are concerned because there was an apparent 2 hour time
gap between shootings with very little notice or warning passed along to student
s of the University.
Of Note: there's been much discussion and speculation already as to why there
was a breakdown in communication and why after 2 hours were students and faculty
not notified about an incident taking place on campus. Apparently the University
did send email messages 2 hours after the first shooting. This message warned
recipients about a shooting that had taken place. Obviously email is only a valid
means of communication for those that are regularly checking email. Perhaps a
text messaging solution would have been a more efficient way of contacting the
masses since obviously a large % of population have their mobile with them at
all times...
Cameraphone users can send their Video and images of breaking news like this
via the CNN i-Report website - See details here
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims, their frinds and families,
students at Virginia Tech, and the people of Blacksburg, Virginia.
