As I walk around the entire perimeter I'm deeply affected. First there is a log where people have left dozens of memorial bouquets of fresh flowers. Many tears all through the crowd as the confirmation of the death toll gets passed around. Another bigger group of students in a prayer circle. We felt like we had to do something to help our Aggies.
Heavy equipment is everywhere.
Large groups looking on from various spots to get a better view of the seemingly hundreds of crisis workers at the site. I see a student group sitting in a circle around several lighted candles - singing some praise songs. Several pick up trucks positioned with guys standing on the roofs looking through cameras with huge telephoto lenses. Another very large group of students and then another. Next to the stack there is a huge Bryan FD ladder truck fully extended with 3 firemen surveying from above, directing the next rescue move.
