Paris Shootings and Explosions

[Sophie-Anna]

I'm so sad to hear all of this. What an evil can do that to innocent people? Why? What are the reasons? It such a shock for the world, Europe and France...And this is apparently not enough: TGV derailed in France, 10 people died...This is a black week. I'm not French but I'm really heartbroken...

I think this post is essential reading. It moved me to tears and is a very important point to make.

This sums it up

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

I woke up and there's this news, right now I don't even have heart to watch anything from TEB.

Yes. How terrible. I watched TEB short programs during a bathroom break at work. Then I heard Paris in the news but I didn't get to see what was going on after spending most of the day in lab and then in meetings.

And then I find out what happened on the drive home. Then today the reporting is clearer. Just terrible.

I have had to move several posts from this thread to the politics forum here.

Once again as stated above earlier:

This is an international forum and we understand that there are different opinions regarding government, ISIS, muslims, refugees, religion, etc. However, this thread was not created for political discussions, but for solidarity in support of the horrible tragedy that took place in Paris, France.

If you have 100+ posts, you are welcome to discuss politics in the sub-forum here. However, we ask that you keep politics out of this particular thread.

Thank you for understanding.

I'm devastated by this news! My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who lost their loved ones. I can't even imagine the pain they are going through right now. All I know is it must be unbearable And to France, may your spirit not waver from this cruel act of terrorism. Everyone is here with you, so please be strong. Also, in France and everywhere else in Europe, be safe! I'm praying for all your safety in hopes a tragedy like this doesn't befall on you, your family, and your country.

This is so important. I think everyone should read this too. And to think that post hasn't even covered everything.. (Which i read in the comments)

(tried posting it earlier but didn't go through, because I seem to be a complete n00b when it comes to posting links on msg boards argh)
