Belgium also closed borders, and we're yet to see if other European States follow lead. 140 killed confirmed, plus wounded. All my relatives and friends are alright though.
I think this tragedy probably has the same magnitude as 9/11 for Americans. I didn't understand 9/11 back then because I was a kid, but I recall watching it on TV. Now I understand better, I feel scared and shocked even though I'm not French and don't live in France.
I was in 33 when that happened and 8 years later Bush had wrecked the economy with his John Wayne response. Which is why I say I hope France and Europe don't respond in a similar manor.
