[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I and a few dozen of my friends have marked ourselves safe here.  Facebook prompted us because we live near the bridge and we clicked safe or not affected.

Why?  Some of us who are middle aged, connect with a lot of friends from past periods of life on Facebook.  I have FB friends from middle school and high school in another state.  I have friends from college in another state.  I have friends from work in another state.  And I have family and friends who have relocated to other parts of the country who know I lived relatively close to that bridge.  I've been asked a lot by FB friends if I have been affected or my commute has been affected by the bridge.  Marking myself as unaffected by the event, just cuts down on the number of inquiries I get from far away friends, especially friends who have never lived in this area.

It's not for attention seeking or internet popularity (neither applies for me and my group of friends).[/quote]

I’m sure your friends were very worried you were one of the people on the bridge in the construction crew or on the ship that night so it was really thoughtful of you to mark yourself “safe” on Facebook so they don’t have to worry.[/quote]
