TERROR ON A TRAIN.

Those who lived through the Madrid train bombings share their stories of survival--and look back in sadness and disbelief at the carnage. The 10 bombs that detonated within 16 minutes of each other on four Madrid commuter trains on March 11 left at least 201 people dead, more than 1,500 injured and images of suffering almost beyond description. Mónica Márquez Rodriguez, 17, is a student at the Colegio Virgen de Atocha in Madrid: I had been up really late studying for a test, and when I woke up Thursday, I thought I was going to be late for school. But when I got to the train station, I saw that the train I take every day was still there. Because I was late the train was really crowded and somebody was sitting in my favorite seat, so I sat toward the front, next to a window. I took out my science book and started studying. I was lying back with my eyes closed thinking about school when the window next to me exploded and sprayed glass all over me. The car filled with smoke and people were climbing over me, trying to get out the window. It was far to the ground and I was scared, but I jumped anyway. Outside people were all around me, running, stumbling, lots of them were bleeding from cuts in their heads and blood running out of their noses and eyes.
