Acting on a ―moral imperative‖, the terrorists who placed thirteen bombs on four of Madrid‘s
suburban trains on March 11, 2004, had been planning an even deadlier attack than that
which occurred. The bombs were synchronized to explode when the first two trains met at
Atocha station. Because of a brief delay of the second train, its bombs exploded one
kilometer short of Atocha. And the failure (or intended delay) of three of the bombs
prevented an even worse tragedy. Only three minutes were necessary to deliver the worst
terrorist attack ever experienced in Spain. The death toll was 192 workers and students,
people whose close familiarity to me will certainly influence the present review in some way.
Several spontaneous heroes largely reduced the consequences of the explosive attacks.
Rafael1 was one of them. The shocking explosions threw him out of the car onto the railroad
at El Pozo del Tío Raimundo. Although not really sure of what he was doing or where he
was, he didn‘t follow his survival instinct. Instead of running away to a safe place, he
dedicated himself to assist those seriously injured, together with others on the same train
who were uninjured. No one was in command, but they were perfectly organized. Employing
pieces of marquees or benches as stretchers, they spent hours pulling out bodies while
considering the chances of survival, in what they themselves perceived as an aberrant but
necessary priority of those who were severely damaged but evidently alive. Ignoring the
enormous risk to their own lives, they manipulated a backpack that, some hours later, was
1 Rafael who had recently stopped attending a manipulative psychotherapy group thanks to his family intervention
after that experience, wished to return to the group. He finally decided not to do so after receiving some advice
from us.
