Sri Lankan Bombings DAY 2: My thoughts- Safe and Sad

Facts: 290 are dead 450 are injured Currently 24 people have been arrested.  They found a pipe bomb at the airport, and successfully defused it.   3 Churches and 3 hotel restaurants were bombed.  2 residential areas thought to be safehouses/ store houses for the terrorists exploded.   There is a temporary  social media to prevent people from sowing hate, dissension and fake news.  Curfew/ Marshall law issued to keep people from being out None of the following bombs killed people: Pipe bomb found at Airport  One at Train station 87 bombs were found in Pettah (bus station) Car bomb at second church site believed to have been set up yesterday (went off) My thoughts History: Today is the day after the wave of bombs. I wonder if this is what people felt after 9/11? Confused or frustrated.  Wondering what will and is happening? Watching the news to see if there are any updates.  I am personally devastated....
