MADRID, Spain — Twenty years after Angeles Pedraza lost her daughter during the carnage of the Madrid train bombings that killed nearly 200 people, she still doesn’t understand why.
Her 25-year-old daughter Miryam, she said, would normally take the train to work with her younger brother Javier and as far as the family was concerned, the day started just like any other. “I try not to be bitter and I don’t live with a sense of hatred, but I’ll never forgive those who did this to my daughter.”
“I wasn’t physically hurt except I had a lot of pain in my ears, so I stayed to help people who were worse off than me,” he told AFP. He likely survived because he was sitting at the furthest point from the blast, he said. “The smell of burning, of burnt flesh, has stayed with me. And the deathly silence,” he told AFP at Atocha station.His ears recovered and he went back to work, refusing therapy, thinking he “was strong and could deal with it on my own”.
“Although I was on the train that suffered the least damage, it was just horrible,” said Garcia, who works in accounting and has a 10-year-old daughter.
