Everyone at h2g2 has been shocked and appalled by the recent acts of terrorism in the United States. Reactions range from disbelief to hysteria, the most common questions being 'How could this actually happen?' and 'What's going to happen next?'

The h2g2 Community is so diverse in its social and political views that it seems a natural place to gather together everyone's thoughts.
