"It really bothered me how people could kill innocent kids that had nothing to do with the issue."

Heather Heuser, bio-chem freshman said she remembers how surprised she was when she heard about the bombing on the news. The most striking and repre sentative image of the tragedy, Heuser said was the child in the arms of the fireman looking tenderly at her.


"My heart broke when I saw the kids, and I wanted to know how and why it happened."

Lyn Nappe, art history graduate student, said her mother called her at 9 a.m. to tell her of the tragedy. Nappe said, however, the bombing can make us aware that we can all be targets at any time.


"Everyone was confused and surprised."

Chris Sandell, media arts freshman, was told about the bombing on his way to class. Sandell skipped classes when he heard about the tragedy. Many of those he spoke with suspected foreign terrorists. Sandell worked at a daycare and said he found it diffic ult to see images of hurt and bloodied children the same age as those he looked after.
