Columbine Library Torn Down (July 18, 2000)

- A major project to help columbine students move forward is halfway complete. Crews have been working to replace the school's library with an atrium.
The atrium opened up the cafeteria ceiling - eliminating the sealed-off, second-floor library where 10 of 13 Columbine victims were murdered in the April 1999 massacre.
Let’s not forget that the school wanted to just do some minor repairs of the bullet/bomb damage and stains and get right back to school. It was the victims’ parents that banded together and demanded more changes be made. This caused the students to finish the school year at their rival school Chatfield while this was being done. It’s amazing they were able to do this instead of nothing but yes I agree it would have been better to rebuild the school.
You can’t erase what happened and though you get rid of the physical floor of the library where the bodies laid after they were shot the spots still exist you’ll just point at open air where it once was and where their bodies were... the walls that encapsulated and once witnessed that horror are still there still looking upon a vacant floor where once all happened they still remember.... because changing the space won’t change what once happened!!!
They weren't trying to erase history. Have you ever been seriously traumatized by something? Seeing or even smelling a trigger can be crippling. They did not want those students to have to face an area if the building everyday where they almost died. I'm glad it was torn down.
I'm surprised they did this because they should have made that library a monument fir the dead.
Tiffany Sanchez that I agree.
@@dannydavideos8106 They did, in a way. The new library was named in honor of the victims.
Tiffany Sanchez Really Tiffany? I thought that changing the building physically would erase the deaths and injuries that happened there and all those people would rise from the dead. If you can’t tell I’m being sarcastic, no fucking shit it doesn’t change the past you fuck tard.
actually, you still can point there, youd just be pointing at open air

Oh wow
In my opinion they should have tore the entire school down and rebuilt another one with a new mascot name because 'rebels' isn't fitting after what happened especially considering 'Reb' was Eric Harris's gamer nametag.
Gamertags in 1999? Kinda suprised.

Yeah back in the late 90s, us kids played online shooters via PC such as wolfenstein, counter strike, and Doom. Doom caught alot of heat for what Eric and Dylan did at Columbine because it was their favorite game and it excessively glorified murder and guns. In Eric's personal journal he wrote that the sawed off shotguns they chose for the killings were the same as the ones in the game. He even named his shotgun 'Arlene' after a character from Doom... Those boys were obviously very easily influenced and were clearly looking for any negative inspiration to motivate their evil intentions.

Then you let the monsters win I don't agree to that

I don't see that as anybody winning. I see it as a destroy and rebuild process. New start state of mind.
Well this happened 20 years ago, so our opinions don’t matter. And they wouldn’t have mattered back then either, unless you lived in their community.
it never crossed my mind for the library to be removed after the shooting. but it’s actually a brilliant idea. and i think it helps with the healing. i wouldn’t be able to walk back in the same library knowing my fellow students died in there. it’s horrible to think about and horrible to be in that place where it all happened. may they all rest in peace, they didn’t deserve what happened to them but at least they’re in a much better place. 💜
Y’all are truly sick talking about they should of left the library there for people to see.. see where kids got murder? What kind of sick people are y’all ? Y’all ain’t thinking about the kids/teachers or staffs that was there . You all want them to be scared for life ? Y’all wrong
Those are a lot of Y'all's
I completely agree. Think of it as a fresh start. And then there’s people saying “why not tear down the entire school and rebuild?” That probably would have been way more expensive, and take way longer. Logic people.
@Create Tube I know right, 😂 y'all
Damn this comment section is filled with so many wanna be bad asses 😂😂😂
It was in July 1999, not 2000.
Wrong. It was in APRIL 1999. April 20, to be exact.
To be clear.....the event was April 20, 1999. This video shows them REBUILDING the library, likely in 2000. (They had to process the scene as a crime scene. Then tear it down. Then get approvals to rebuild. Then get materials to rebuild. Then begin the rebuilding process. So yeah, this video likely IS in July 2000.)
@@jennrockefeller8991 thats what they were saying........
Jenn Rockefeller talking about the remodeling. Not the date of the shooting
So.....was this video from July 1999 or July 2000?
It’s kinda dumb tbh
Torn it down where people died
It won’t change the fact that people died there so what’s the point
The point is that it needed to continue to be a school, but one that didn't evoke memories of what happened during the shooting, so it was completely remodeled.
WorldIsALie X they should’ve either completely remodeled the lay out of the library OR just add some more lockers to that area. There problem solved. No need to tear it down completely.
WorldIsALie X idiot
WorldIsALie X idiot
@@ilovegreen324 Oh well it's too bad that the citizens of Littleton didn't consult with you first, could have saved them a lot of hassle.
shouldve torn the whole school down and started a new school somewhere else
Don’t scroll through the comments..not worth it. Unless of course you wanna see a bunch of dumbass comments from wannabe-edgy children with memes as their profile pictures try to say that the library shouldn’t of been torn down...pretending like they WOULDN’T have horrific flashbacks walking into the same room that they had just watched their friends getting murdered in. Sure, obviously we know tearing the library down wouldn’t erase history...but it would at least give the place a new look and help those suffering PTSD from the situation by giving them a fresh perspective.
Look, I'd be curious to visit it too, but my curiosity does not take precedence over the wellbeing of victims (including those who weren't injured) and their loved ones (victims in their own right), nor does it take precedence over the students being able to get a good education and access the important resources of the library.
There is no need to try and demonise people for being curious though or not believing it should have been torn down. We all look at things from different perspectives and backgrounds.
If you look at the layout the library should have been demolished and rebuilt on another wing of the school and where the old library would have been would actually be or could be an outdoor memmorial. Just my opinion.
Wtf
I'm diggin the Jon Lajoie, content below.
That fucking sucks! Why would they .. I wish I could go in there !
Columbine ERIC i go to columbine and its not that bad lol
SonicTheHedgehog 12 its boring! But i'll try 😂😂
ÁUß Code later😂
Haha! No its full of... "Normal people" like you all like to call it lol...its just the library is not there anymore and the cafeteria is not the same😂
eric and dylan were trying to demolish the library anyway, they hoped it would be destroyed. now that it is, they got what they wanted. not to mention the fact that the cafeteria is still there where other students died, and the room where the teacher died(unless they tore that part down too).
i still think they could’ve done a little more, but who am i to say anything about something that happened before i was born. at least still tried to make it better.
what happened was terrible. it shook the country, much like every other shooting, even the lesser known ones still make an impact not just on the people who lost a loved one or a friend, but everyone no matter who you are, where you live, or when you lived.
i hope that they stop i hope that government takes control and does something to stop gun violence. i hope they find a way to get rid of all the loopholes, i know daniel would appreciate that.
the whole point eric and dylan wanted it to be destroyed was that it would've killed people not for remodeling purposes lol
No one died in the cafeteria though. Most deaths were in the library, then one in the science room and two outside
I wonder if they worked overnight
I hope those spirits that were trapped there got released 🙏
Wow, erasing the evidences of the library.
They should’ve just left it for people who would want to see it.
Not respectful to the famlies. Also what people? Its not like they let people tour the school..
Uh, schools don't just let strangers wander around the building so they can peer into a library where 10 teenagers were senselessly and brutally murdered. I'm pretty sure they tore this down because they were thinking of the citizens of Columbine.
Wouldnt be able to walk into a room where people were slaughtered. But that's just me.
From what I've researched, the families of these victims does not want that Library to remains... and have other students walk into the very room where 10 of students were brutally murdered by Eric and Dylan. It's surreal enough that it is not quite comfortable knowing that room still exists, so they provide donations to remodel the whole thing... so that room where it all happened no longer exists for the better.
Do you not hear what the families are saying? They’re glad they can’t look at the spot where they lost their kids.
H & K would be proud🤨
rthelionheart Who cares what they would or wouldn’t be, they aren’t proud because they blew holes in their heads, so fuck em
i know
Why did they tear down the whole school
They didn't, they only tore down the library and built a new one next to the school
Because it was not a massacre the ENTIRE school, it only happened on one side of the school, and it's pointless to tear down the school.
ned flanderz they didn’t you moron
The should name it the Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold Memorial Library
You're Right you're right
F*** those two idiots!
Wayne Lapierre can host the opening
No. They shouldn't.
@@emilymatthews2990 why not it would be fucking hilarious
I like the old library better
So you like evidence of rotting corpses
@@sarahschmidt4217 he just thought the old library seemed nicer /:
Nem fodendo que ia acontecer tudo isso no brasil ksksksksksks
wait so did they build a new one? or where they just not going to have a library??
They have to have a library
people are so simple minded, like tearing down physical object is going to make people forget about this, maybe besides some old teach all of the kids that were there have moved on, waste of time and money here
It was for the victim's families and friends, who didn't want to study at a room where students had been ruthlessly shot.
Oh god, quit being babies and wasting taxpayers money and just get over it
Al Thompson You’re right man, these people are still bitching about it after almost 20 years, in the end, Eric and Dylan won.
It wasn't tax payer money dumbass did you even watch the video? It was 3 million dollars in donations. Plus this video is from 2000.
I wonder if you would still think the same if it was your kid or someone you really loved that had been killed there...
Awkward Jane I would
Stfu people died and u tell people to get over it! What’s wrong with u
