I am in Bandra, which is far away from Colaba, where the attack is happening. More updates... There are 3 operations happening. One at the Taj hotel, another at The Oberoi hotel and the third is in a residential building, which is near the Taj hotel. At the Taj, they have manage dot rescue a few hostages, but the hotel is also on fire and firefighters are trying to contain that as well and to rescue the remaining hostages and get the terrorists who are holed in.
At the Oberoi hotel, there are fresh reports of hand grenades being used and the terrorists are firing out on the streets. still very unclear as to what exactly is happening at the Oberoi.
The third place is a jewish residential colony, these guys have taken a few jewish families hostage. That all i know for now...

i hate to say, but after all spent on airport security and what not, I seen this coming and i said it before, you don't need a plane/train/bridge/building to kill a lot of people at once. it can be fucked up world :(

Hope this ends before more people get hurt. There are better ways of getting the worlds attention without hurting people.
No one is going to take on board what they are trying to say now, they had a chance to be heard and they stuffed it.
- What are these 'better ways' you speak of?Nairn

Wow. I stayed at the Taj Palace this year.....so sad to see it's been burned - and all those people got killed.
And very VERY glad I wasn't there, talk about a buzz-kill!

You spout a great deal of nonsense sometimes janne.
Does it make the list because they shot westerners?
"July 11, 2006 - More than 180 people are killed in seven bomb explosions at railway stations and on trains in Mumbai that are blamed on Islamist militants."
- pint, old street today? have you brought your holiday snaps?Khurram
- Maybe... because I maybe going to see Nick Cave. Photos are all digital.moth

CBC just had a documentary on Mumbai last night too, by coincidence. It was interesting.

I gotta defend Janne76 here, although lord knows he does spout some shit from time to time. Although the 2006 bomb attacks were devestating and terrible, this current attack has far more in common in terms of operational scale and scope and objectives inline with broaderinternational terrorism than that earlier attack did.
This time, the whole world is watching and is there along with India. In that sense it is quite like a 9-11 style event, which is sadly, probably what the perpetrators were aiming for.
- you as well?
hey, if either my humour doesn't come over well or i really contribute rubbish in most people's eyes, i'll leavejanne76 - most people's eyes, i will leave. have you all become so snobby in here? maybe i should not be herejanne76
- and i am serious this time, i feel i don't belong here in terms of my work, my shared ideas, opinions and whatsoever..janne76
- and whatsoever.. as if i missed a codebook somewhere. really, i am sorry for not being so worldly..janne76
- and no, i do not feel offended, but i do feel as if i should not fit in.. nothing emotional. just be straight..janne76
- nevermind. get back to work, move along.janne76

janne76 - janne I was defending you. wtf?TheBlueOne
- you as well?

Wait... so it's not a "real" terrorist attack unless you have 24/7 media coverage?
These deaths are somehow better, greater quality deaths?
- // definitlyjanne76
- moth, you are mixing up 2 things here, one is a fact: i wasn't informed well, two is opinion: because i wasn'tjanne76
- informed well it doesn't mean i value one life more over the other.. really, calm down moth.janne76
- Didn't say that at all moth...I was merely pointing out scale, scope and objectivesTheBlueOne

Hey Moth, your misunderstanding Jannes comments, I think he was simple commenting that in terms of media coverage, this is being reported along the same scales as NY/London/Bali etc. this doesnt mean these deaths are any more worthy or pertinent than the recent Baghdad/Afghanistan bombings because of the intended ‘Western’ targets. Get down off your high-horses, no-one has said anything offensive, sheesh!

I'm not on my high horse.
I'm on my fucking astounded horse.

Fair enough Moth, but I really dont think Janne was trying to astound anyone, these attacks (and I mean all terrorist related attacks) are shocking to say the least, my sympathies to anyone caught up in them.
