We somehow think the eighty people killed, and nearly 100 people hospitalized, in the horrific Spain train crash need just a smidge more than Facebook likes, however well-intended they may be. ABC Chicago disagreed, at least for a little bit before they pulled their post soliciting 'Likes' to send thoughts and prayers to the victims. Oh, well. Nobody ever gets screengrabs of these type of mistakes anyway.
