Meeting with massacre survivors

20 000 at memorial
Norway has been the top news in all the world I think last week after the terror attack and massacre. A couple of youths from my city was at Utøya. A guy I almost knew was killed, and I know several of the survivors. It has impacted me too hear their dreadful and traumatic stories. They tell about watching friends being shot, how near they were to be killed, dramatic escapes, maltreated corpses and the ice-cold spree killer listening to music, laughing, smiling and just having fun while he killed them. Its the worst spree killing of all time.
It's good to experience how norwegians care for the related after the tragedy. Pray for the survivors!

A friend is camera man for the news! They should be live from the gathering but due to communications problems caused by Telenor(off course) they had to rather record it for later news broadcasting.

Editing reports for the News. Here a interview with the brother of one of the killed(I almost knew). Nice to see it as the top story when I came home.
