What you are seeing may be because often in the early aftermath, the psyche is numbed as a protective mechanism. People often don’t at first realize they are numbed. The numbness wears off at varying speeds for each person; then, often weeks later, the psyche emerges in fuller clarity...and pain. That's for most, well after the cameras go home. Right now, most persons are walking, weeping, inquiring, working, planning, even laughing, but that sameness you note, for many, is from being in a head down ‘gathering oneself to the center’ position in order just to single-mindedly keep going dr.e domajot, your observation is accurate.

It's quite a worthy achievement !!! Watching coverage on CNN and the like, I've been struck by the eerie similarity among those of the affteced who were interviewed. Resigned and calm, one and all. I'm in no way complaining, but it begins to seem unnatural, knowing how differently people in the same situation can react, and they usually do react differently. I have no idea what this means, but it's striking. I’ve rarely read a news account displaying such sensitivity to both the victims and the situation.
