  1. When you guys were talking about the feeling nationwide on September 12th 2001, like saying "People were friendly. People were letting people in in traffic. American flags were everywhere….". I'm from Scotland, UK and I remember a time when Scotland was like that. I certainly felt it. It was on the evening of 13th March 1996. In a school in Dunblane, Scotland. Thomas Hamilton gunned down 16 little kids and their teacher a few hours earlier., injuring just as many too. There was a feeling that day and night and beyond, but especially that evening. Everybody you seen in the street, on a bus etc, you just knew that they were thinking about what happened, in a town in our country just a few hours earlier. When you made eye contact with someone, you were kind of asking if they were alright, without even saying a word. That was a horrible day which I will never ever forget.

    The Scottish tennis champion Andy Murray and his older brother Jamie actually went to that school and were on their way to the gym, where the actual massacre took place, just as it happened. Andy and Jamie were hiding under a desk in a classroon inside the main school building but obviously could hear the gunshots and no doubt, kids screaming, from where they were. Andy has rarely spoken about it but there was an interview just after winning Wimbledon when he spoke about it and he got very emotional. The one thing he really wanted and was proud of was that now when you think of Dunblane, you think of the multiple Grand Slam Wimbledon Champion Andy Murray and Jamie Murray, not the massacre that happened.
