I know this post is not relevant to travel but I feel it appropriate to post here to share with the Greek community such a tragically moving incident.....My prayers and condolences!... Should the moderator feel it necessary to post elsewhere please do so!

My condolences to the families and to all the people of this brave and proud country. Hash, this IS very relevant to travel because when these disasters happen, it behooves us as foreign tourists to not only be aware of these events, but to act appropriately with the utmost of sensitivity to what the local people are going through. I’m glad that you brought this up here.

Thank you Deborah, just had a message from New York from one of my colleagues from way back in Mykonos when we worked together .
'The train wreck was one that my kids take all the time to go back and forth to their village. It was luck and maybe divine intervention that kept my daughter at work and sent my son in the other direction. Very sad. I hope all is well in your world! I'm making gigantes today!! 🫘 Talk soon". ...
Kalley Mera in silence and prayers for all concerned in Greece!

Truly....I am very upset when the President made a statement for which she should resign....she said
"We find ourselves in front of an unimaginable tragedy,” Greece’s president, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, said in a statement. “We are mainly mourning young people"..... How on earth can a person make such a statement...?
