Approaching Atocha Station by bus

Madrid, Spain -- 10/18/10

Sale a la luz la llamada del maquinista del IRYO avisando a Atocha de que ha sufrido un descarrilamiento:

IRYO: “Estoy invadiendo el carril contrario, necesito que paréis la circulación”

Atocha: “Tranquilo, no hay ningún tren llegando”

O sea…nos dicen de primeras que a los pocos segundos de descarrilar el Iryo pasa el Alvia y que era “INEVITABLE” el choque por el poco lapso de tiempo entre ambos trenes…

Ahora sale a la luz una llamada de veteasabernosecuantos minutos del maquinista del Iryo ya descarrilado al centro de emergencias de Atocha advirtiendo de la invasión de carril y de que tiene incendio en un vagón y heridos…y le dicen QUE NO SE PREOCUPE QUE NO CIRCULA NINGÚN TREN POR LA ZONA.

Si por esto no ruedan cabezas, EN SENTIDO LITERAL, podemos decir adiós a España. Tenemos al enemigo dentro, se llama clase política (toda) y ya hemos perdido la guerra.

Nuestra Señora de Atocha was a Spanish treasure galleon and the most widely known vessel of a fleet of ships that sank in a hurricane off the Florida Keys in 1622. At the time of her sinking, Nuestra Señora de Atocha was heavily laden with copper, silver, gold, tobacco, gems, and indigo from Spanish ports at Cartagena and Porto Bello in New Granada (present-day Colombia and Panama, respectively) and Havana, bound for Spain. The Nuestra Señora de Atocha was named for the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de Atocha in Madrid, Spain. It was a heavily armed Spanish galleon that served as the almirante (rear guard) for the Spanish fleet. It would trail behind the other ships in the flota to prevent an attack from the rear.

Much of the wreck of Nuestra Señora de Atocha was famously recovered by an American commercial treasure hunting expedition in 1985. Following a lengthy court battle against the State of Florida, the finders were ultimately awarded sole ownership of the rights to the treasure.

La Gare d'Atocha, Madrid

That moment - to this ... may be years in the way they measure, but it's only one sentence back in my mind - there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails. I pass the hotel at 8 and at 5; there are cats in the alleys and bottles and bums, and I look up at the window and think, I no longer know where you are, and I walk on and wonder where the living goes when it stops.
