| So sad : ( Hey guys, my fiancee's mom just sent me an article from the newspaper from back home in PA. I live in Maryland now. When I was in college I did my intern at this mental health facility and then I ended up working there for awhile. On Wednesday two staff members and some of the people that lived at the mental health facility (patients) were on an outing to the Pittsburgh Zoo and got hit by a tracker trailor truck. Both of the girls I worked with were killed and also three of the patients that I used to counsel. I am just so in shock right now. I think how easily that could have been me and I'm so tore up over this. My heart just goes out to the familes. There are also others that were hurt. Some are still in the hospital and some have been released. Please keep everyone involved in your prayers. This is just a terrible tradgedy and such good people were lost.

| OMG! How horrific and tragic. I am from PA (about an hour from Pittsburgh) and haven't heard this news yet. I will pray for the families. I don't even see how it could possibly happen...parking is so far away from the zoo. |

| That's so sad. It really is so shocking when it is people that you knew. You never expect something like that to happen. Prayers to their families.

| Ok, I read what I typed and can see how I confused you (sorry). They were in a van driving to the zoo.

| That is just a horrible tragedy. Only god knows why he wanted to take them at this time. But their families I'm sure, were not ready to let them go yet. May each and every one of them rest in peace.

| Dina I'm so sorry to hear this I'm surprised I haven't heard anything about it. When did it happen? I'll have to watch the news and see if I hear anything about it.
