Who was the Virginia Tech killer?
== == Seung-Hui Cho was the Virginia Tech student who went on a shooting rampage (now known as the Virginia Tech Massacre), killing 32 individuals and wounding 25 others.
I was there, I was actually at school when it happened, and my dad used to work in Virginia Tech, and he worked in the building across from the shooting. It was sooo scary, because our school was half a mile away from Virginia Tech, and if you go there, you can see memories of them, like pictures and stuff. So sad! There's still some blood on the sidewalk.

When did riverside school of aeronautics in Utica NY close and why?
I graduated from Riverside School of Aeronautics in July 1990. At that time they were moving to another location. I don't think they lasted more than a year or so at that location. Not sure of an accurate reason. Rumors at the time of legal problems.
I was a student at the time of it's closure. Riverside was shut down by the FAA for violating it's mandatory curriculum standards as well as other shady business practices. The family transferred assets to their son who then opened Pompano Academy of Aeronautics which also was shut down by the FAA for the same reasons.
In the end the Department of Education forgave most of us our student loans and we were able to start fresh elsewhere.

How do you find the resultant magnitude of two vectors?
If the two vectors are in the form: P = ai + bj, and Q = ci + dj
Then the resultant vector is (a + c)i + (b + d)jand the magnitude is:
sqrt((a +c)2 + (b + d)2)
If 3 dimensional, then the k components are added then squared and added to the i & j components, before taking the square root.
