7. What a tough day for all those people. What a sad and terrible and upsetting day.

To have such a heavy and sudden event bring these people together, and for them to realize that their grief is being shared by so many strangers at the same place and time. I couldn't fathom what this must be like for them. My heart goes out to each and every one.
