5 years ago on this very day Vegas had one of the worst tragedy that happen in the city. For some of you that doesn't know what happen. The Route 91 shooting happened. What is it, a gun man from the top floor of Mandalay Bay opened fire on concert goers at The Route 91 Festival. 58 people had fallen from this tragedy. This was a little close to me cause I had family and friends that was attending and working the festival. As shots rang out chaos broke out, people was diving for cover. I don't mean for this to be a sad blog but this is a day we will never forget. The stories I have heard from people and how it changed there lives made me think about mines. We are Vegas Strong and will keep moving forwards. Please take a moment on this day to honor the innocent people that lost there lives at Route 91, and remember we are Vegas Strong.
Yes, I assisted in the Family Assistance Center during the 1 October incident.
ReplyDeleteA moment of recognition and remembrance for those lost or affected.
Vegas Strong!
October 1st is a sad day. I can’t believe that it has been 5 years.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are Vegas Strong! We will remember and remain strong.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe it's been 5 years already. I still remember where I was that night when I heard about the tragedy. We will always remember the people that lost their lives that night. #VegasStrong
ReplyDeleteThat was a bad day for everyone. I was going to get tickets for those shows and we decided at the last minute it was too late. It is a day we will never forget.
ReplyDeleteThe bloody events of that time are still fresh in my mind. May the living be strong and the dead rest in peace! Vegas Strong!
ReplyDeleteWe still don't know the true motive after all these years its still a mystery.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't living in Las Vegas at the time, but the news did ring out to pretty much all the United States, if not the entire world. It was a sad day and should be remembered for all those who lost their lives. May they continue to rest in peace. For those who survived, may the healing process continue. Thank you Brian for your post!
ReplyDelete*moment of silence*.
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely deserving of recognition. I remember driving by the area every day for work and it was not a pleasant scene.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I remember the shooting. I was actually not too far from where it happened. I lived closer to the strip and all I heard throughout the night were the echoes of police sirens. My heart goes out to those who have lost a loved one in the shooting.
ReplyDeleteThe news traveled fast and I was very confused and speechless that night. I had out-of-state friends asking me if I was okay and safe even though I didn't attend the festival, and everything just felt surreal because it was only my 3rd month living in Vegas at the time.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it has been 5 years.
ReplyDeleteCrazy to think of how much time has passed,
ReplyDeleteI still can not believe this happened.... I was at Mandalay Bay when it happened, visiting my sister at her work at the time. I remember being rushed to hide in the store, so we hid in the back office with her and her coworkers, and blocked the door with boxes. It was a terrifying, surreal, and devastating night.
ReplyDeleteThis was indeed a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to class that next day and had to clue what happened. It was such a tragic incident that actually changed many people's lives.
ReplyDeleteI remember this day, and I still can't believe this happened. We will always be Vegas Strong!
