20th of April

Whats up everybody?
It's the anniversary of the Columbine shooting. It happened exactly 18 years ago.
I'm interested if any of you do something differently today?
I thought I'd dedicate this day to the shooting. (Does that sound wrong...?)
I'm just basically watching Columbine videos/photos and browsing this forum all day long.
PS. Did any of you have an eerie feeling in school today?

Hey! Yeah, I'm pretty new to being interested in Columbine, and true crime in general, so this is my first 4/20 where I've been aware of everything that happened. Because I live outside the US, and I was very young when it happened, I only have very vague recollections of hearing about the shooting, and I definitely didn't know any of the details.

I just have a really strange feeling today, like I'm really disconnected from everyone. Everything is just a bit surreal, like I'm behind a glass wall and nothing can touch me. And as I look back on articles and everything, it feels like its really close to me (I don't know if this is making sense!). It almost feels creepy, especially with it being 11:10 in Littleton right now!

I'm on Easter break actually so, I don't have school today! If I did, I know it would feel really eerie. But, its actually kind of great because I have loads of time to spend on this forum, on tumblr, and talking to people about it!

Think about this:
It's about now that Dylan and Eric started their rampage 18 years ago...
Also lucky you. My easter break is already over.

Yeah, I really have the chills now. Like it was eighteen years ago right now. Thats pretty mind blowing and so tragic

I just watched the cafeteria footage and coordinated it with the current time, so it was like I was literally watching the event unfold EXACTLY 18 years later..very eerie for sure

This is what a lot of people do on this day as well:

Doesn't seem like it has been 18 years. That means most of the victims have been dead longer than they lived. That's so sad.

I hope all the families are doing okay.

That's exactly what I did too!! How awesome. I thought I was the only one who did that.

Haha!! Thats awesome it felt so surreal..the action starts at 11:22 because the tape skips a few minutes..did you follow the timeline like me, like when they were in the library, I kept saying to myself wow there killing people right at this moment. I even envisioned them leaving the library after Dylans interaction with Evan Todd and saying to myself wow they just left the library and there on the way to the cafeteria, and then boom there's Eric on one knee aiming his gun at the bomb

Yup, I followed the timeline!
It did feel pretty surreal indeed.

It feels like this every year for me on the 19th of August, the anniversary of the Hungerford Massacre.
