Thanks for posting that, Mike. I was especially moved by the last picture.

I have not seen many pictures of the makeshift memorials inside the train station(s).

Hi vicki,

El Mundo also as a list of the victims, with photos and small obituary-style paragraphs (similar to what the New York Times did after the 9/11 attacks).

It is quite moving as well. I\'ve spent a lot of time reading about the victims. They come from so many walks of life, all with different occupations, different life experiences, and different reasons for going to downtown Madrid that day. They add more and more as they become available, and right now they have about 65 people listed so far.
