It was not a botched rescue operation, it was a botched hostage-taking. Terrorists' bomb went off by itself, and all hell broke loose. Children were fleeing, the SOBs were firing at them, and the Army started firing back. Over 200 dead, more than 500 injured, 3 terrorists taken alive(!).

How stupid, securing a bomb in place with TAPE.... (shakes head sadly)

I heard about the finale of the situation on the news, and just stared dumbstruck at the scene... it was all I could do not to cry, I thought Columbine was bad, but this....

this was so much worse. I don't think I'll ever forget it.
