3/11/2004: Terror in Madrid (warning, graphic)

A newstory that I read this morning indicated that one of the most haunting aspects of the scene were the cellphones of the dead ringing and ringing ... that's probably why there are many photos of people checking phones.

I have heard similar statements from EMTs and Firefighters at accident scenes with fatalities ... the cell phones ring, and there is no one left to answer them. It's a stark reminder for the EMS professionals that the individual they are "holding the tarp" for has someone, somewhere who is still expecting them to come home.
