When will it end? 
--------------------------------------------------
Up to 13 people are feared dead and dozens have been injured after a van crashed into a crowd of people in central Barcelona, with reports of at least one armed man holed up in a nearby restaurant.
Catalonia’s TV3 reported that 13 people had died and dozens were injured, but these numbers have not been confirmed by Spanish authorities. Catalan police have so far confirmed one death and said 32 people have been injured, 10 of them seriously.
Police confirm fatalities and say they are treating incident in Spanish city as terror attack, amid local reports that armed men have entered restaurant.
Spanish police, who are treating the incident as a terrorist attack, said the “massive crash” happened on Las Ramblas in an area of the city popular with tourists.
Television pictures showed a crashed van stopped on top of a Joan Míro mosaic halfway down Las Ramblas. It reportedly entered the wide boulevard where it meets the Plaça de Catalunya, then drove towards the port area, meaning it would have covered more than 500 metres.

Re: Barcelona
So sad :( It makes me so upset that Europe is so dangerous to visit right now. I cannot imagine living in a main city in Europe right now and wondering if I would live to see another day just by going about my business.

Re: Barcelona
I just don't even know what to say anymore 
I was there about 5 years ago and absolutely loved it. Always wanted to go back. This area is always packed. I won't be surprised if these numbers increase.

It's so sad. Barcelona is one of my favourite cities and I was in the same area where the attack happened around this time of the year two years ago. DH and I actually say that we probably won't visit Europe any time soon especially the areas where the attacks happen.

Re: Barcelona
It's just horrible that flucking assholes have to do these horrific terrorist acts.
When are they going to learn that NO ONE WILL EVER BACK DOWN AND GIVE THEM POWER.
