Terrible Day

[Lou Masses]

Although this is not a political forum, my statement is not meant to be.

I would just like to tell our Spanish friends and members that our prayers go out to them, their families and their countrymen on a day like today. We stand with you.

Nuestros corazones estan con ustedes hoy.

For all those who lost their lives today, we pray for their souls.

Lou, though politics has no place on this site, I do not feel there is any harm in showing a little human compassion. my sympathies go out to our Spanish friends, they have had a difficult day.~Gary

As nations during these troubled times, it is imperative that we all stick together and support each other during our darkest hours.

Nuestras oraciones y pensamientos estan con nuestros amigos quienes sufren este dia.

Indeed a sad day in Spain and I feel that after 9/11 we can all relate more to the events that took place. I offer my sympathies to our friends and families who is affected by this.

I wholeheartedly concur. Compassion is appropriate on any forum. Our hearts and prayers are with our Spanish brothers and sisters. May God's grace be upon you.

I would like to thank you for your solidarity.

Last update put the dead list in 173, plus more than 600 wounded of diverse consideration. It is more than likely that the dead list will raise.

To date, the most bloody terrorist action was in Barcelona, in 1987, with 21 dead people. This should give you an idea of the shocking effect of today's events.

It is really a VERY sad day.

186 casualties and more than 1000 wounded people... we can't believe what tv or radio say, we can't find words

it has been hard to finally get some news of my friends living in Madrid but now i know they are alive...

but today the life of a lot of innocent people has been broken and i can't stop asking myself "why?" still can't find any answer

i can't believe this

My Sympathies and thoughts are with our Spanish friends.

A very sad day for all

Thanks once again for your aid.

I live in Mostoles a"bedroom-city", (I don´t know the english for that)in the outskirts of Madrid Capital. Lots of workers (not politics)get the train early in the morning every day to earn their salary. Those men and women that have been murdered today are simple folks. Mi wife´s father yust past one of the bombed stations ten minutes before the dissaster. Most of the workers from Mostoles who go to work to Madrid by train have to pass through one of those stations (Atocha).This is not politics it's puer maddness. Today it's going to be a nightmare to return home from work. Police controls, jammed traffic... death and sorrow..

 

[jitch0t]

at this time 192 dead and 1247 wounded people

i hope all of us can wake up of this nightmare

 

[Colin_Fraser]

My sympathy as well. Its a reminder to all of us that this can happen anytime, anywhere in the world now.

It's sad when a small group of lunatics (pick a nationality, there's plenty to choose from) use this method to undermine the efforts of dedicated people striving to reach rational solutions to complex problems. I've no doubt that God has reserved a special place in Hell for these maniacs. My prayers go out to the innocents in Madrid.

The hearts of all freedom loving people sadden today by what has taken place in Spain. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those sticken by this heinous act of inhumanity.

I want to express my sympathy and compassion for the victims and their families here - I feel it is very sad and, most of all, pointless that innocent lives are wasted on the insane illusions of a few fanatics.
