Virginia Tech Video Tribute - Tragedy 4/16/07 - "Fix You"

NOTE: 65 MB AVI (Divx)

Alternate streaming media:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW8XT_H_gOs">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW8XT_H_gOs</a>

I feel my video is unique in that I incorporate not only all the names of the 32 victims tied to their respective picture, but also many of the moving moments and quotations of the hours following the tragedy. The song, "Fix You", inspired me to produce this video. I first heard the song in the trailer to the movie "World Trade Center". As you listen to it, you can&#39;t help but note the lyrics "the tears stream...down your face" and not be moved by that while watching all of the victims. Pay special attention to the end, when the lyrics are "lights will guide...you home" ... the picture I chose remarkably represents this phrase. Enjoy!

4.16.07

4.16.07


4.
mourning doves wooed us at dusk.
warm weather early this year,
our pear trees and dogwoods
had blossomed too soon. jonquils
bristled in auspicious clusters.
even the stateliest branches
teased us with touches of color.

such delicacy,
surely gifted by nature&#39;s
infinite desires, must likewise
bear her surprises. for she
is true only to self. in time,

a bitter frost stunned
nearly all the blooms, left some
withered, others gray, a fitting
tableau for the cruelest month:
flowers slumped, blossoms
in wait, and the living in mosaic
with its dead.


16.
the wind ripped us
that day, blasted into the valley with a vengeance,
other sound swept away.

but not the shots.

not the wail and crumble
of our native stone


Forever.

above us, the speechless
streaks of orange and sanguine maroon
morphed into an unfamiliar haze.

and the wind, prevailing, kept its long vigil,

blew blossoms in tatters
into a fierce spring snow, the glittering
of tears untold.

This shapshot shows the InfoIsland memorial at 18 PM PST 16 April 2007 and the same place three days later, 19 April 2007 17 PM PST when hundreds of visitors had come by to leave flowers and pay their final respects.

Parking Lot

This is the back of the academic buildings after the press conference. I counted well over 20 ambulances on the walk back to the radio station.

Press Conference

Being in student media, three representatives went to the first press conference to find out what was going on. At this point we thought it was still only one shooting. Larry Hinkler saying that there were over 20 fatalities was by and large the worst moment of my life.
