The 2004 Madrid attack that inspired Disney+'s 'See You in Another Life'
On March 11, 2004, a sequence of coordinated bombings targeted Madrid's commuter train system, sending shockwaves across the globe.
The tragic event resulted in the loss of 191 lives and left more than 1800 people injured. The beautiful city of Spain came to a sudden halt, in what is still considered the largest terrorist attack perpetrated on European soil.
As per a report from the Combating Terrorism Center, the attackers responsible for planning and executing the bombings belonged to various groups and organizations, yet they were united by a shared "jihadist ideology".
