Why?, originally uploaded by planetneutral.

"Why?" is the title of this Second LIfe tribute to the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy. It is a question that we will never fully answer.

However, just as online social media helped people in the midst of the horror to figure out what was going on, it is providing new ways for people around the world to rise above the pain. On Flickr, the images from campus have segued into a stream of creative memorials and expressions of solidarity. Likewise Youtube, where tributes and reflections" intermix with archived news reports.
