I'm quite amazed that even after 36 hours, there's not one post about the horrible bomb attacks in Spain... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon8.gif

Anyway, more then 180 people where killed and up to 1500 where wounded in the most devastating terrorist attack in the history of Spain, with the death toll rising as there are a lot of critically wounded.

My thoughts are with the friends, families and relatives of the victims of this horrific act against human life.
My condolences to the Spanish members of CPF.

Good point Velcro, we (the staff) have been discussing this topic in the background all day about a nice way to offer our condolences.

It's a horrible event and I pray for the peace that passes all understanding for all the friends and families of those that were lost.

Blinded, I hope you get through very soon and have good news. It's got to be most nerve-wracking not having any info.

Maybe nothing has been posted up until now because the attack is just so incomprehensible and shocking. I'm certain it's been on everybody's mind. Are these terrorists totally demented or misguidedly desperate for change? Killing innocent people cannot possibly help their cause.

It's a TERRIBLE act that has been committed by cowards there. I'm as emotiional as I was when our own World Trade Center was attacked. Prayers & positive thoughts to all Spaniards, especially those that lost family & friends and to those injured, as well as their families & friends!!

I sincerely hope you get through to her. I have an uncle and a few cousins that live in Madrid and I've not been able to get in touch with them either.

I feel their sorrow and yet am rallied by the strength of the Spanish. The terrorists have succeeded in only one thing as they did here, uniting and cementing the resolve of a people! Viva Espana!!

Hello all.
I was coming here, to the cafe just to post some words, and it has been nice to see thet there is already a thread.
Yesterday I asked Roy to put a spanish flag, and this morning I'm watching it.
Thank you all, thank you Roy.

Is very sad to talk about this kind of darkness instead of light.
199 dead
1500 injuried
More than 12000000 people on the streets. The whole country have no words, just silence and a kind of tie into our throats, a kind of bite in our hearts.

Thanks again, friends

Hi all,
Time for a little confession.

I was within a mile of the Pentagon Impact that morning.

I saw what those *******s did to our people, heard the screams, saw and smelled the smoke.

It's not something I recomend.

That's one of the reasons I am here. My little bit of payback. Hopefully this will wake up europe. Perhaps the French and the Germans will get with the program, or the citizens will recover their good name and elect some people with spines.

If I see any Spanish Troopers at lunch today I will co miserate with them. I expect them to step on some necks in the next few weeks.

More when I know more

I work for MSN.

We had a .net passport server down. This is the server that verifies your password if you have MSN or Hotmail or any other .net thing.

It's back up now though...
