Madrid, Spain

[Glamdring]

This morning ten commuter trains in Madrid were bombed at a single train station, killing at least 186 people on their way to work, and injuring nearly 1000 others. The story is covered by msn news at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4502950/, but it's by no means complete, due to the ongoing rescue operations at the site.

This is obviously very tragic, but there's nothing we can do, right? Well, I hope not... I want to find some way to help with the victims and families, or help with the clean-up/rescue at the train station. There may be nothing I can do directly, but there must be something they need, something that would help, that we can send them.

I haven't figured out what I can do yet, but when I find something, would some of you be willing to do the same, if you can? This site is growing increasingly popular, and with enough people willing to help, I'm sure we can make a difference.

e-mail me at brookechenise@hotmail.com (a new account I created just for this) if you have an idea or just would like to let me know I can contact you if I find something.

We can't ignore this... the internet gives us options; allows us to affect things we would never be able to touch, so let's use it. Any ideas?

Glamdring that´s a good idea, i´m from spain and this is really tragic, more than 190 people deads and 1400 injured, at this moment.
I went this morning to donated some blood, thats the only thing i can do, i would like to be in Madrid helping to the affected families but i cant and that makes me feel useless :( .

I'm sorry for Spain's tragedy, I heard about it on the radio this morning. I would donate if I had any money, and I think others feel the same. Unfortunately, it is a large number of us that feels this way, and almost as large a number of those who are apathetic. As a broke American minor, I can do nothing, but the Spaniards have my deepest sympathies.

I am sure spain has the entire nation's sympathies and I am sure that some of the American taxdollars will end up helping

Tragedies like this should not happen...I hope spain will respond with force on the idiots that pulled this stunt
