Just wanted to take a moment to express my sadness
at the loss of life in the bombing of the commuter trains
in Madrid.

To members from Spain, please know we are thinking of you.
 
It is tragic to see how cheap life has become again, particularly in first-world countries.

My heart goes out to all those affected by this cowardly action.

It has certainly made me more grateful for the time I get to spend with my family.

May the innocents rest in peace.
 
H2Andy, thanks for starting this thread. Yesterday I spent almost the whole night watching Spanish TV. And as 9/11 I coulnd't believe in what I'm watching I couldn't believe yesterday. 3 Poles died in Madrid, family and their 7 months old daughter. 3 others are wounded. We, as all Europe are mourning today. I just came back from the Spanish embassy in warsaw where around 30 thousand Poles gathered in silence to comemorate yesterday's victims.
Right now over a milion af Madrit inhabitans are marching to the railway station.

I share your grief and outrage over this cowardly act of terrorism. May the families of the victims find some small comfort in the knowledge that so many others share their sorrow. May Peace begin with us.
 
My thoughts and prayers go to all the victims and their families. When will the madness end?? :cry:
 
I have several friends in Madrid, all are safe and accounted for, but their stories are truly shocking. A couple of them have cousins or relatives of friends that were lost. The whole city is in a state of shock. And you can bet that every Madrileño is going to cast their vote on election day.
You can explain again and again to me why people do these things, but I will never get it. I just can't comprehend. :no:
 
This was an awful tragedy...

It looks like Al Qaeda (sp) struck again...

Interesting things that the news reports have come up with: The date of the Madrid attack was 3/11/03, exactly 911 days since 9/11/01. There also appears to be a suicide component to this attack also...
I dont think these attacks are going to stop. Its just a matter of when and where. They will not stop.

My thoughts and prayers are with all who lost loved ones. I think I heard tonight there are about 9 countries represented in the losses and that for numbers and percentages of population in spain, this equals our 9/11 tragedy (ratios of people).

We can hope and pray that SOMEDAY we will live in a world governed by peace and goodwill.
 
I'm glad someone started this thread.

After seeing the outpouring of support from every corner of the globe after 9/11 I wanted, somehow, to express my heartfelt sadness for the victims and their families of this horrendous act of violence. To quote H2Andy, "To members from Spain, please know we are thinking of you."
