So you are a human animal who can think, speak, reason, and read. Reason may be one of the things that disguishes us from other animals, but whether we are the only animals who reason doesn't really matter today. The fact that we do reason is still a fact.

So we look for reason in an event that defies reason in so many ways. We do it all the time. One university student wrote about it, and his words from 2 years ago are now reverberating around the internet as though they were spoken by one of our favorite soothsayers, Nostradamus.
