- Kristina Anderson, founder of the Koshka Foundation, shares a firsthand account of what happened to her as she was physically injured and survived the tragedy in her classroom in Norris Hall on April 16, 2007.
She is not smiling. She is showing nervous anxiety while she talks and it appears as a smile. Often Soldiers returning from War with PTSD are interviewed and show the same type of facial expression. I am one. We are not smiling in any way. We are simply scared and trying to get out hard words and thoughts and for some reason we appear to smile. I can promise you, she is not smiling to those asking why is she smiling.
+blackstang201150 Maybe, or maybe she is smiling.
blackstang201150 She's smiling idiot
she is smiling, especially at the end, even laughing. you are blind or a liar?
You're really fucking stupid if you think that smiling only means you're happy and nothing else. Very one sided eh?
Morgan W Just hold the L,
I am very happy you survived. My friend was attending VT when the mass shooting occurred. Despite the struggle and pain you may still have, please keep your head held high, and always be positive that there are so much goodness in the world than to reliving the hell. I am very sorry for your injuries both inside-out, but very happy you survived. Thank you for sharing your story.
Some of these comments just give me cancer
eat some kale
Fuck off normie
Jusitn Sun Same, I think it's terminal. See you in chemo
The comment section should of been disabled for this. Absolutely the most ignorant and vile comments ever.
Mowac....It appears if you tell the truth too many times such as I have the paid trolls are now using death threats against me. I suppose that must be a badge of honor. Good Lord what a crazy world we live in. CHEERS and keep hitting them hard.
They're all lonely fat edgelords who spend all of their days on 4chan crying about the world and their autism.
@@kennethroyer9949 I would choke the life out of you if I ever heard you in the streets saying the same things you pathetic ass writes anonymously on the internet. Examine that fact and contemplate what it means.
@@kennethroyer9949 You meet an asshole, it's a bad day. If you meet 2 assholes it's really really bad day. But if you meet 3 or more assholes, then you're the asshole.
It's called freedom of speech, the comments are over the fucking internet dude.
her eyes ❤
I'm very sad for the tragedy but happy you survived!
Thank you for sharing your story Kristina!
why are there so many unhinged people in this comment section? what the hell is wrong with you people

she said in another interview that they barricaded the door...
She said the teacher and a student attempted to push their desks in front of the door, but the shooter walked in before they could, and shot them first.
X....Wow so now I'm getting death threats boy I've moved up in this world as I can see I've touch a nerve. That nerve is the TRUTH like that line in the movie A Few Good Men; "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
Plus I have all of these threats documented and if they become too many I'll go to the authorities and have your IP address subpoenaed thus discovering your real name and your local cops can deal with you! HAVE A NICE DAY!
X....Be Careful my boy be very careful if you think just because you work at Langley your ass will be covered think again my friend think again!
Kenneth Royer I thought you might find this interesting since you're such a fucking nut job

sorry, but what does "black" "yellow" and "red" mean?
Black means dead red means critical and yellow means delayed
Connor Castle
Thank you!
Np
AtmosphericColor black means died
Please wake up people and learn to love each other for who and what they are. Learn to be happy and make every day a happy day even if it does not go the way we plan.
Make every day the best it can be and respect each other, we all have different levels of feelings. We are stronger when we unit than when we stand alone.
Shock-smiling
aerhearts , that is the smartest idea I have heard about situations such as this
Why did her classroom get targeted? Was it just the closest?
There were five classrooms targeted, all on the second floor. One successfully barricaded, another was and had everyone jump out till the teacher holding the door and the last student were killed, then the other three rooms each had multiple deaths & multiple wounded.
... and for the record to any reader: "gun free" means protection/defense free.
To be fair, most people who carry guns mentally and physically prepare themselves for situations in which they may have to use said firearm - so they may have faster reaction speeds due to their pre-programmed responses to such a scenario.
A gun can't defend against bullets in the way, say, a ballistic shield could; however it can "defend against bullets" by destroying the source of those incoming bullets.
Respectfully,
Nick
Koshka means (female) cat in Russian, why is the foundation called that?
I would respect debate on whether our gun policy since the beginning might have been the one of dumbest fucking things ever implemented, but given that it exists, a much dumber policy is to limit where you can legally carry a gun. The morons perpetrating this stupidity of gun free zones need to be placed, for our protectinn, in a facility for people too mentally retarded to care for themselves. Pretty much anyone, (like the psycho who did this) can buy a gun and attack you with it. And ANYONE with an IQ over 100 who has ever been cornered, unarmed, by a person with a gun is a supporter of the right to legally carry concealed anywhere. There's not a single exception to what I just said.
Well said, Mrrusss =) The only people that call for gun control are the ones, who were not in the situation and are fooled by vile politics and start shouting gun control. The only ones that know are the people, who came to the end of the line, and the last thing going through their head is, why am I docking here under a desk (??????????? it's not an earthquake; going under a desk won't help you with bullets), defenseless!
In the other interview posted a year ago called kristina profile or something she says she was shot twice once in back n once in butt. So which is it?
0:45 - "He came in shooting..."
1:00 - "I didn't realize there was an active shooter."
Also, why the air quotes when she realized she was going to get "shot"?
In a situation like this the mind was in frozen mode. I have never been in a situation like this but when I was in a car accident I didn't realize that I had crashed. It's a state of shock. She new he was shooting. That was a fact, but her brain couldn't process what was happening to her. She saw the gun, he was shooting. But the thought of an active shooter is devastating and the brain does everything it can to protect you. And for the air quotes. She did realize she was shot. She Didn't know anything was wrong until she said she was changed from yellow to red. And Because the whole situation did not seem real, fantasy, almost as a dream, (because the brain is protecting itself in this event) she was "shot" and it probably still doesn't seem real. It's called dissociation. The brain is mysterious but she was showing pure anxiety while she spoke. I get the exact same way talking about tragedies in my life. I don't really know a great way to explain for you to understand without you going through a tragedy and it effecting you the same way. Everyone is different, people react differently. She seems like her coping was to process the whole event as a dream or like a movie where she was just watching it happen. I hope you don't understand this one day. Maybe read up on psychology books?
@@jessicacrump6685 Are you really sure about this event??? ua-cam.com/video/to-LDIPipnI/v-deo.html
@@cody7101 yep,......and this confirms it,.....ua-cam.com/video/to-LDIPipnI/v-deo.html
Must be very hard for Kristina to recall this.
Where can you go? To avoid Seung-Hui Cho?
She looks so happy and relieved because she survived from massacre ㅋㅋㅋ
Why would U crouch by your desk waiting for your turn to be shot ? Makes no sense at all. There must have been a number of guys in that classroom who could have fought back and very possibly subdued the shooter. Hell, throw a desk, chair, book, etc at him. Don't just wait helplessly like a sitting duck. That's exacrly what the coward wants.
When your being shot at I don’t think your thinking about throwing chairs......
Yea, you go and throw books at him while I jump out window! Thanks, Charles! By the way, I left something for you on one of the tables: it's a Darwin Award 🏆
Charles the brave hero here is coming to save the day!
fear and panic. You have to remember that Cho shot very quickly, had two pistols, and was 6 feet tall. I don't think even an athlete or fit dude would want to charge a 6 feet tall guy with 2 guns (I recall a victim saying he reloaded so fast, around 2 seconds for the entire process)
I would like to see how you’d react in this type of situation.. guarantee you’d freeze in shock just like the others
I don't know if I can appreciate traffic ..? But ok ...!
IT'S NOT RIGHT TO LAUGH OR SMILE WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE DIED!!!
tury portillo it could be nervous laughter/smiles
I know a few people that laugh when they get nervous, it’s involuntary.
@@kennethroyer9949 You're on so many comments spouting this crazy shit. Shut up, dude.
Dumbass she legit was shot you
what an attractive lady
She's spoiled goods nothing less than a paid LOW RENT CRISES ACTOR lying for a living to the unsuspecting and gullible Americans in order to generate fear driving the public into the arms of government to spend more and more money unnecessarily on all types of security devices benefiting the wealthy who own those corporations! Take a look at OSI, Inc.
Dude leave her alone
This video is about a school shooting
she is a good example as to why these things occur.
Jermaine Scott
What do you mean?
Sandy Hook still OP
:(
How did ur attitude shift? Are you now racist against Asians? Is it about reaching out to troubled people to help them and just talk with them? Fancy words y’all people speak but no meaning or commitment behind them.
RIP Cho... savior of Asian... and JESUS CHRIST of Asia
@Jaegphh Hcunkelee Gee, not sure if you got the joke. This was, like, three years ago and there were folks making jokes like this on other videos with Cho in it.
@@nothinghere6227 y’all are lame
yellow? red? what is she talking about? I don't get it
Lunaa x Black means deceased, Red means critical and yellow means delayed. Its shorthand/code for relaying the state of victims swiftly so that paramedics can reach the scene and help those who need immediate attention.
That's why UVA is better than VT
And that is why you're extremely rude. Okay you can think that, But seriously!
That was just cruel and insensitive!
its true tho
Vote Trump !!
