Major Spanish football clubs Real Madrid and FC Barcelona joined the nation in mourning, holding moments of silence to honor the victims of Wednesday's devastating train collision.
The tribute follows a catastrophic rail disaster that occurred when a train traveling from Madrid to Seville collided with a stationary train. The tragedy prompted Spain to declare three days of mourning as the national death toll rose to at least 69 people, with dozens more sustaining injuries.
Emergency responders and authorities have continued working at the disaster site and hospitals, prioritizing the identification of victims and gathering DNA samples from families. As investigations into the cause of the collision get underway, communities across the country have gathered for vigils and moments of silence in remembrance of those lost.
