One was GV Loganathan, 51, an Indian-born lecturer in civil and environmental engineering, and another was Liviu Librescu, a Romanian-born Israeli expert on aeronautical engineering.

Professor Librescu survived the Holocaust only to die in a university school.

It's difficult to find the words to use to describe that.

Well this should be a lesson not to believe the news media vultures when they just look to create a story for ratings. A Chinese national who entered the US on a student visa back in Sept 06 who has Al Qaeda links and sent the bomb threats to the university weeks earlier in order to test the response time and all this was known by the Chicago Sun Times within a half day? Boy, you know a lot people wish this were true. If it were, I wonder if the mushroom clouds would be rising above the clouds right now. That absurdity in disinformation was more wishful thinking than a mistake. But that probably doesn't make a difference since I hear more than once these days people says China bombed Pearl Harbor.

South Koreans must be shocked that the gunman was S. Korean descended. I know Koreans have a very strong sense of kinship, much more than geographically diverse Chinese people.

Even the S. Korean Prime Minister issued a public statement.

No Koreans on this board?

China bombed pearl harbor:nana: man this is something that i haven't heard of or maybe people need to be educated

well yeah at first i heard someone saying that it was a Chinese and didn't know if he is a student or not. This news came from a Chinese channel in Canada which got it from America. This morning they confirmed that it was a Korean.

man i was so confused about the nationality of the shooter until this morning when the clarified the whole thing.

According to all accounts I have read of his actions, this 77 year old man died a hero, immediately and willingly using his body to blockade the door so his students could get out of windows while the gunman fired through the door.

There's a similar bravery too. A Chinese FEMALE PhD student block the door with others' help and saved all her students and herself. There's a letter from a professor in CS department from VT:

Dear all,

I would like to share with you the oustanding act of bravery that took place today in Norris Hall. Without this wonderful courage the list of victims would have been longer with several Computer Science students. This is the story I
've learned from XX and XX.

XX Cheng, our CS Ph.D. student, was substitute-teaching CS 4414 in 205Norris Hall this morning. Around 9:45 very loud noises were heard from the corridor. XX and one student went outside to see what was happening. What hey saw was a young men with a gun exiting a classroom. As soon as he saw them he pointed the gun to them (and shot at them but missed). XX and the student ran quickly back in the classroom and closed the door after them; XX told the students to lay down; three men from the classroom rushed to the door and held it closed. The killer tried several times to force-enter the 205 classroom. He then shot two bullets through the door inside the classroom. student ran quickly back in the classroom and closed the door after them; XX told the students to lay down; three men from the classroom rushed to the door and held it closed.

The killer gave up and went on to other classrooms ...

And more, she was a member of VT's women table tennis team who won the first ever sports title in US in VT's history. Actually everybody in that team is Chinese.:D
