BUZZURRO

Many people know the name of the shooter at Virginia Tech. And many of those will also know some details about his days in high school and college, but what about the victims ? Some heroes were created that day. This post is written in tribute to one of them, Professor Liviu Librescu. Following is an article found at globeandmail.com:

In a letter addressed to Prof. Librescu’s wife Marlena, one student described how he climbed out the window, but paused on the ledge to look back.

“I saw your husband still standing there. He was holding the door closed and looking over his shoulder to make sure everybody else was safe. It was the bravest thing I have ever seen and I will always remember his courage,” the student wrote.

Another simply wrote: “I think he saved my life.”

He will be missed.
