Do you feel a touch of what you felt on 9/11/2001? I do. I understand what you're saying but this doesn't compare to 9/11. That was simultaneous attacks in multiple cities and, very importantly, an organized plan. Even after all that, we (me, my wife, and daughter) flew a few weeks later for a trip to the inlaws.

I don't feel exactly the same way, but "a touch" of that sinking feeling is there. BTW, I was
scheduled to fly on 9/13/01, and would have if USAir had been up and running -- safest time to
fly is right after. Safest school in the DC area, at this moment, is the one where this poor
young man was shot.
