5:04 - the professor holding the door closed in room 204, Liviu Librescu was a holocaust survivor and obviously risked his life to save others in this instance as well. What a man

Lesson learned: Always try to prevent the shooter from entering the room. Playing dead isn’t always the best option. And if there’s a good way to escape the building then run away. Don’t hide.

Hearing about Matthew La Porte broke my heart. Charged at the shooter in an effort to stop him. He was only 20

The fact he was so methodical and kept picking off the victims to ensure they were dead is awful

Imagine being that one guy in Room 211 who was not only unharmed but also saw the shooter kill himself... survivor's guilt must be hitting him hard

There is something so heart wrenching seeing all those green dots turn into yellow/black. Especially when he goes back to that one room and finishes off mostly everyone. Pray for these victims, no one deserves to die like this.

this is terrifying. imagine being left alive in one of the classrooms thinking the shooter is gone, only for him to come back in and start firing again.

what shocks me a lot other than the shooting is how he got away with killing the first two victims at the dorms. How could there be no witnesses considering he shot two bullets? What were the people around him doing? No way that building was completely empty

An interesting detail is that the Professor killed in the Hallway was actually from the 3rd floor. He was the only person originally on the third floor in the shooting to be killed. When the shooting started he apparently rounded up all students on the 3rd floor and barricaded them in his office, then went down to investigate what was going on/see if he could help. When he arrived in the 2nd Floor Hallway was when he was killed.

The thing that disturbs me so much about the constant news interviews around these events that talk about how people survived by playing dead, is that it's practically teaching future mass shooters to double check their victims to see which are playing dead.

The two people who survived in classroom 206 are so lucky

This really puts into perspective just how terrifying these shootings are. Just hearing "shooter walked around campus killing people" really does a disservice to the memory of the victims and the heroes that helped

It’s crazy how fast it happens I doubt it was this quick but just the fact the shooting lasted around 10 minutes is crazy

I never had a clear insight on both the Sandy Hook and Virginia Tech Shooting, but both of these very well made videos cleared it up to me. Thank you and Rest in Peace to the Victims.

I had no idea it happened in a block of classrooms with students just sitting at their desks! That's brutal.. i thought he killed mainly fleeing students in the halls, this makes it way worse.

obviously everyone’s death in this video is sad, but the fact that professor librescu was a holocaust survivor and died helping his students escape is just so so sad

great work as usual, thank you for documenting these so well.

i was literally revisiting your channel earlier today, the last time i viewed one of your videos was around the time you released the synagogue video. and you happened to upload it just now, thats cool.

Thanks for another great video, Sarin Gas Attack. I always watch your videos several times to gain more informations out of the shooting.

Rest In Peace to all those who passed. They didn’t deserve any of this.

You work is evident. I appreciate the hard work for some vey informative content.

Absolutely fantastic job with this! I’ve always found it surprising how there was no AAR of VT. But given the confusing mass of data available I think everyone was hoping someone else would eventually do it lol. Thank you for finally putting it all together. This is legitimately a very good piece of historic documentation for a tragic historical event.

Thankyou for making these animations!

Your videos are very much appreciated, please keep creating more!

I thought you weren't going to upload anymore, glad you did!

Being in room 211 is a nightmare for that one student uninjured

Amazing work and informative as always; layed out in a format which works incredibly well - Once again, you've really outdone yourself with this one, well worth the wait, thank you for making these [ and once again, RIP Mass Attack Media - He like so many others were inspired by your work and it's so sad to see him go ]

amazing video- cant imagine the amount of time and effort that goes into these videos. worth the wait- love your content!

Been waiting for this for a long time. RIP to all the victims.

You put so much effort into this! Thank you!

My blood is boiling from watching this animation. I feel like out of all the school shooter out there, this one is the most cold hearted one. Not that the others aren't cold hearted but this one is just so..... I don't know how to describe it.

Thanks for creating these high quality videos, mate! Liked and subscribed 👍🏼🌟

First upload I've seen since I subbed 😊 ..I went from watching the story of Medal of Honor recipient Sylvester Antolak just now to this.. May we all, when faced with Death in front of us, respond in such a way that the lives of others may be saved or at least inspired to achieve great things that we ourselves could not accomplish.. Happy Memorial Day !!

these animations are always so well made

This animation is really well detailed and well worth the wait. RIP to both the victims and Mass Attack Media.

omg you did it thank you for this i recommended Luby's shooting or the San Ysidro McDonald's massacre next i love your videos and your voice for narrating is great and these videos they are the most detailed animations for massacres on youtube you outdid yourself for this one thank you for it

Well done. Thank you for putting this all together.

Yess, been waiting for this for a long time, thank you!

Thanks again for another great animation. Also nice dedication to Mass Attack Media at the end.

I was watching one of your videos when you just uploaded this

Thank you for naming the injured, they are so often forgotten.

Another heartbreaking and riveting video. Thanks for making this!

These are very good videos, please keep up the good work and never stop with your craft :)

Appreciate the effort and time you put into this animation, I didnt realise he literally kept returning to the same classroom to finisj off the victims 😔. They were defenceless. Thank you for the video as we know there isnt that much information on Virginia tech.

You’re back after nine months! Welcome back :D

Been waiting for this.:. Ty for putting your time into this

Dude i literally yesterday looked for your channel to see if you had made an animation of the virginia tech shooting and now this pops up on my recommended

Thanks again for the animations brother

I worked in that building at the time. This was a tough watch. Edit: in fact, I was one of the people the FBI interviewed (as a group) several days before. Cho was testing the response time of the police by dropping bomb threat notes in different buildings. This happened after I helped clear Torgesen Hall. There was a TA that recognized the way Cho wrote his periods as circles, and that they may be looking for someone Asian. I've always wondered if that was in a report anywhere...

Respect to the guy who tried to tackle him

Amazing job you’re doing man thanks

YES! THANK YOU! IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!

Him shooting at the head of the already dead Matthew La Porte is interesting. He knew the jig was up, but still still had to hurt someone, and in this case it was the only person who tried to stop him. Even til the very end he had to lash out.

Great video! I’ve noticed you’ve become a lot more comfortable with the mic.

really informative, and has nice animation. good job dude.

Always enjoy these. Good work.

Really great job. Appreciate the content.

Great video, Keep up the great work!

I’ve been waiting for an animation on this one, thanks for making one. Another shooting I’d like to see, though brief, is the Chardon High School shooting.

Non-related but your voice is so soothing

This has to be the scariest school shooting ever. The fact how he just shoots people that play dead and check the classrooms to know who are in there just to know how much people are in there to know how much are still dead to make sure he misses no one. is really sad, and the fact how the alive students see the shooter.

very well done video man

More details than I expected. Worth the wait!

2 dead on campus, 2 hours go by and no response, that's fucking wild

Great work man, def worth the wait. I was so happy to see you dedicated this to Mass Attack Media. I know this kinda research can be taxing, I hope you take plenty of time for yourself. Put your mental health first. Thank you so much for your research, it’s the top tier for sure

Wow! Very good! You work so hard!

Lets go glad your back man

Really good video, something you might want to consider adding is the time in one of the corners, just gives a sense of well time

The survival rate of some of these classrooms is terrifying

Thank you so much!

Strong 9 month hiatus with a great comeback video like this. This was fantastic.

This was a great video, such dedication put in it. Thank you Sarin Gas Attack.

My friends and I used to talk about school shootings because we grew up in the neighborhood of where some of the Columbine victims lived. It always crossed our minds because even after all of these years, people still leave memorial treasures at the park not too far from the neighborhood. Always walked past it, a sad sight indeed. I could never imagine what these kids went through. It’s gruesome and evil. I hope everyone affected finds peace. It’s about to be 15 years since this particular shooting, 32 innocent lives.

Thank you for this

The idea of thing like this happening so often is terrifying

good job with the animation, glad you’re back. I have a suggestion, instead of just putting the key at the start could you leave it at the bottom as well throughout the video.

Really appreciate your channel/videos, looking forward to the Erfurt animation. Would Red Lake be a future possibility?

Nobody else has the guts to make or post anything like this, well done.

what disturbs me the most about vtech is the speed of the attack, each individual classroom shooting would have taken thirty seconds if that and even in that amount of time, cho managed to be incredibly methodical about it and actually killed more people than he injured

Great video, I love the detail you put into it. Have you thought about making a Red Lake High School shooting video?

I'm really curious about Columbine in this type of video, also about Cleveland in Canada and Pulse Shooting. Keep doing these type of videos, please!

Any updates on future animations. (Plans to which ones you plan to cover next) Great work by the way. Truly informative

Man I’m so glad now that my schools doors could only be opened from the inside or with a key from the outside..

Fantastic animation, appreciate your work. What is next in your plans for new animations and when do you think they will be released?

Liviu Lubrescu was the oldest victim, in addition, being a survivor of the Holocaust. It’s crazy he didn’t retire at 76. He would’ve already been retired today if he’d never been shot.

The fact that 2 injured students had to urge to block the door in classroom 207 unlike what people did in other classrooms.

Horrible tragedy. Thank you for you sharing. Hopefully we all can learn from this. I recommend reading Gavin de Becker's The Gift of Fear. It suggests leaving situations like these as soon as you can. I am sad that so many stayed in the classroom only to perish the second or third time the shooter came by.

I love these videos! Any chance you could do Santa Fe?

Great Job Sarin Gas Attack! Also, RIP to the lives lost in the shooting

Oh, Mass Attack Media :( it's so nice of you to mention him... heartbreaking...

This is truly horrifying. This is so much more horrifying than any of the coverage I had seen on this attack up until now.

what a monster

This is probably a repetitive question, but what software did you use to construct these animations?

This is so well made. And beyond disturbing.

this is terrifying. cant even imagine what the students were experiencing

Very good man

Mass media attack passed?!?😭😭😭 I loved their videos also how did they die?

Good video. Just curious, what took so long? Sorry if I sound rude I’m just wondering.
