Madrid
I was driving to work this morning when the news about the bomb attacks in Madrid started to come in. They were talking about 10, maybe 30 dead.
Since I generally don't read the news during the day, I didn't realise until I was reading Stello this afternoon the scale of this terror attack - currently body count is 173. I'm shocked, absolutely shocked. What the people who did this hope to achieve with this, will always be beyond me.
As for the victims and their families, my heart goes out to them.

When I heard on my car radio this afternoon that the death toll was over 180 I was truly stunned.
There are some mad, bad people out there.
