Train Explosion

I know that most of you won't care, but not too long ago a train exploded in Madrid. As it goes about 15 minutes ago my household phone rang, it was my eldest sister informing us of what had happened and almost crying in panic. My middle sister Anita was meant to be on that train as it's the same train she gets on every morning. Luckily one of her coworkers dropped by her house early this morning and insisted on taking her to work. I'm in quite a shock and don't really know what to say other than that I'm extremely glad that Anita is okay.

Christ Susi that's scary! But very very lucky.

Thankful that she's okay.

I was thinking about what a friend told me a couple of years ago after hearing about it on the news this morning.

A friend of hers had been asked by her boyfriend if she faniced a fortnight in Spain. She, of course, said yes.

They duly packed, and after landing at the airport and checking ino the villa he had booked he turned to her and said, 'Right, I'll be gone for about 10 days, see you soon.'

She was a bit gobsmacked at first, but was even more taken aback when she learnt why he wasn't spending time with her. He was heading into the hills and helping train and work with members of ETA!! Shocked

Not really the romantic holiday she first thought.

Hope the family is all ok Susi.

Just had my Dad call home in panic to ask if my sister was okay. Seriously I am so relieved that she wasn't on the effing train this morning. I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to her. I love my sister to bits.

Glad she's OK. I will never understand what people hope to achieve by blowing up innocent people. People that are just going about their lives oblivious to the danger that they are in. Neutral

You would think that they have some sort of quality of life, but because they're country's are badly run, they don't care, they have nothing to lose, its a real shame. Rolling Eyes

But no one is going to do a thing about it.

Good news that your sis is ok. My parents were on the Lockerbie flight but they got off in London before it flew on. When it's your time and all that.

Good to hear ya sister is good. Strange thinking that one little decision could change/save your life. Have to feel for those who lost people though.

Damn Susi, that must have been a real eye opener, I don't know what else to say really because its all been said already. Thoughts go out to all that lost their lives. Sad

Hey Susi glad your sister was ok, Smile

Anyways just came across this

Tape claims al-Qaeda tied to Madrid bombings

FRAME-UP!

Folks, think about that white van, left at the scene, complete with detonators and Koran. Who left it there? The actual bombs were remote controlled with cel phones. So, what the facts indicate is that the bombers drove to the train station in a van filled with conspicuously damning materials, parked, planted the bombs, walked away, detonated the bombs, then left the area leaving that van filled with conspicuously damning materials where it would be found.

Frame-ups don't get any more obvious.

Cut and pasted from....

https://www.whatreallyhappened.com/

I'm open minded but very sceptical about the white van/koran/arabic detonators evidence. Very convenient and not at all like the work of a group that could co-ordinate the detonation of 10 out of 13 devices at a particular time. Voice anti-Israel concerns, though, and you're immediately branded anti-semitic regardless of the fact that there are Israeli Arabs, Christians, Jewish etc.

I would not dismiss out of hand that this could possibly be a CIA/MOSSAD effort to direct popular opinion against Arab nations but then again, maybe I'm just an old conspiracy theorist....

Whatever the reasons/perpetrators or outcome of the investigation the main thing is it was another abhorrent act of violence against innocents and my heart goes out to those who were affected. I appeal to the individuals concerned, violence only breeds violence and nothing can be gained from it. Please, please, please resort to other means.

To some degree I agree with Irdawood. You never know what is up the sleeves of the 'superpowers' of this planet. I also agree that Al-qaeda want people to know it was them. The thing is though, how do you know when the Allies' intelligence is not faked like it was during the last Iraqi conflict?

I like conspiracy theories. If no-one thinks this way then the governments will be free to get away with murder. No wait, they already do that anyway.
