It was on this day April 16th last year that 32 people students and staff alike, lost their lives when a gunman went on the losse at Virginia Tech University.
Dozens mor injured in the tragedy.
I'd like to bring to the attention of the Caf of a special documentary that the
BBC World Service will be airing today called
Elegy For The Tech
A poet by the name of Fred D'Aguiar who works at Virginia Tech has wrote a poem, Elegy, as a commemoration.
There will be other articles and features to mark the day i am srue, but most would not be aware of this specific one and it is something i thought i would post on here right from when i firt heard the trail for it.
It will go out at the following times today [GMT]:
09:05
12:05
19:05
I'll also post the link to listen to it online as and when that becomes available.
You know, it's a sign of the times and how small the world has become as cliche as that sounds, because somebody i know on another forum was a student at Virginia Tech last year, final year now i reckon. She was not direclty caught up in it but there were fears for some of her friends.
It'll be a difficult day for all too many.
