In the immediate aftermath of this terrible tragedy, many online services were pressed into duty to assist those needing information about missing friends and loved ones. Others offered an outlet of expression for the pain and grieving of a nation and its friends who watched equal horror. Still others sprang up offering photography, images of the horror as it unfolded. We offer on this page both phone numbers and web addresses as presented on the club message board.
