Jesus ... two families, many many friends, just horribly killed on what was supposed to be a happy day.

Words are failing me, that's just really fucking sad.

It's fucking crazy. If this was a random concert or something it would be aweful as it is, but if it's all people who know eachother it's almost surreal.
