The fact that it was a school holiday -- there were children on holidays and there could be more discoveries of dead children. It is really horrifying -- people's lives are nothing.

Every holiday I would want him to be involved in the holidays, even though he is not here. That doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

Most of them are still psychologically lost, I would say, because they say they haven't experienced such a thing like this. All of a sudden there is a 10-meter wave crashing down on them -- they just didn't know what hit them.

There are still so many people still out there missing and yet to be accounted for.

Working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.

A few school districts -- Paterson, Irvington, Trenton and Atlantic City -- are also scheduling closings on certain Islamic holidays.
