My nephew is an engineering student at VT. I was in a state of panic pretty much all day yesterday because the cell service was overloaded and you could not get through on the campus phones because of all the activity. He finially was able to IM my brother (his Dad) on MSN while I was on the phone with my brother and we found out he was OK and safely locked inside his dorm room.
My heart goes out to all the families that lost loved ones.
