Spanish train bomb web site
p2pnet.net News:- A black ribbon on a new web site symbolises the tragedy of the almost 200 people who were killed in the March 11 train bombings in Madrid, Spain.
But more than that, www.quienmeayudo.com is enabling some of the 1,900 people injured in the terrorist attack to reach the people who rescued them.
“I was sitting by the railway line without my trainers,” 17-year-old Carolina, who suffered leg injuries in the blasts, is quoted as saying in an Agence France-Presse report here.
“A girl picked me up, slung me over her shoulder and carried me out of there … before going off to help others.”
Now Carolina wants to know who dragged her to safety. “I don?t know what her name was or if she was on the train, but I?d like to find her and thank her,” she says.
Cinema producer Beatriz Caravaggio came up with the idea, says AFP, referring to a report in the Spanish daily El Mundo. “Psychologically that will do them good,” Caravaggio said.
“Zahira, 21, lost an eye and half of her face was torn to shreds by the blast in the train she was in,” says the AFP story, adding:
“But that has only strengthened her wish to find the ‘man of medium build with a white beard and wearing green overalls’ who helped her stagger from a carriage in flames, thereby preventing even worse injury. Those who provided help, some of them fellow passengers, are equally keen for news of those who were injured.”
