I understand, in a way - there were some people who had neither family in those areas nor lived there themselves who become unnecessarily hysterical.
But at the same time, I would hope you understand that some of the emotional outbursts would be from empathy, and I acknowledge that a lot of it was fear.
My father framed the next day's Washington Post's front page and has it tucked away in his office. The headlines and pictures still produce a gut-wrenching reaction.
I went to a high school where about half (and that's low-balling) of our parents worked in and around DC. It was like an electrical current running through the entire building even before the vice-principle announced what had happened. I can't imagine multiplying that terror by 1000 by living in NY.
This isn't about nationalities or ideologies or religions. Purely from a human standpoint, the sight of rampant hateful destruction ought to cause at least some sort of emotional response.
