This is the most horrible waste of human life I've ever seen, and, being a journalist, I've seen some wastes of human life. My paper has been working on this piece all day. I've had Web radio stations blaring from my PC for 13 hours now. And still, I can't get over the horror of this awful, awful tragedy.
God be with us all.

I'd also like to add that through this tragedy, the heroism of many men (and women, too) has and is going to occur. I've heard already that hundreds of firefighters and police officers in New York City have died while performing their duties, and an overwhelming majority of them are men.
I encourage everyone to pause and remember these people, who have shown such bravery and compassion for others, and paid with their lives for it.

Yesterday was truly a nightmare. I haven't felt quite the same since, and I don't know when or if I'll ever feel quite the same again. On the surface, I knew something like this was bound to happen (and it's happened before, albeit on much smaller scales), and so I wasn't completely surprised.
But on a gut level, it's obvious that I was utterly naive.
My heart goes out to the thousands of families who are grieving today. It's not often that I feel truly sorry for people I don't know, but on this occasion, I absolutely do. I guess that's how I know I'm a human being. Ultimately, the confirmation of the strength and compassion of humanity (which has already been displayed in the massive relief effort that's been going on) will be the greatest gift that we could get from a monumental tragedy like this.
