“We’re a microcosm and in this situation we rally together. We provide the support that is needed, we were all affected.”
Dr. Sandra Serrano
BC president
“This is a major tragedy. I used to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the bomb squad and this is typical of mass destruction. Because it was so typical, it was very successful. It will take several months to resolve.”
Charlie Fivecoat
Political science professor
“It certainly is a tragedy. However, I think, terrorism is maybe the curse of the 21st century. Certainly, it is going to be incumbent upon President Bush to have a response to this, unfortunate as it may be. It will be and would have to be a retaliatory response.”
Dr. David Rosales
History professor
“It was bound to happen soon, with us interfering with the policy and peace talks. We should show them, don’t mess with us.”
Sean Shaffstall
BC student
“I have mixed feelings. It is not right to involve innocent people in terrorism. But then, our country does this too. We constantly stick our noses in others’ business. I am worried about our government being indignant and hurting people. I don’t see any good coming out of this.”
Jason Loggins
BC student
“I thought it was horrifying to hear. Once the towers fell, I was like `Oh, my God.'”
Kevin Calvin
ASBC chief justice
“When I heard the news I was just blown out of the water. It was like a bad dream.”
Adam Bruce
BC student
“I’m stunned. It shows you the power of hate people have, and that’s something we don’t need.”
Nancy Guidry
BC librarian
“I hope that all the people responsible will be killed, flat out. And I also hope that all the people of the country responsible, the ones who are happy about the bombing, will also be killed.”
Jerry Strange
BC student
“This is a wake-up call, not only for the federal government but also society. It’s beyond belief.”
Katie Swank
BC student

I was a part of the RIP this terrible day. Was really hard keeping a sound mind and still getting all appropriate interviews from saddened staff and students. Looking back now, I’m so glad to have been a part of the paper. Now living in NY. Good luck to all students 2011-2012
