Judecg...are in mumbai right now?

judecg · Nov 27th, 2008, 02:10

I have no idea why none of the stations are not mentioning Leopolds then... esp after what you mention Enchantedwon.

maybe it's right next to one of the other places they are talking about.

My god this is to terrible, im sitting watching the news and its horrific - they say 18 dead already. My prayers go out to those families of those who have lost their lives in this devastating attack. please keep us posted as its difficult to see exactly what is happening on cnn.

Hi Ignite... yup.. I live here. I'm watching all the tv channels... changing between them. I'm home though.. not out on the streets (like half the city it would appear)

judecg · Nov 27th, 2008, 02:13

now headlines are showing 60 dead and 200 hurt.... whole dome of Taj is lit up with fire

Khandahar Restaurant is fired upon

Ignite · Nov 27th, 2008, 02:13

Shoot, you'll be alright Judecg, just stay indoors now! dont let your curiosity get the better of you.

They've attacked the Police HQ's wtf????

Quote:

The gunmen also attacked police headquarters in south Mumbai, the area where most of the attacks took place.

"We are under fire, there is shooting at the gate," said constable A. Shetti by phone from police headquarters.

Thanks and don't worry... nothing could drag me out there. I was in bed but couldn't sleep.. as usual. Got up and found this crap going on

I'll keep you folks up to date though. It's just horrific.

Well thats a first...only heard of Oberoi and Taj till now, but Marriott too? I wonder how many more.

judecg · Nov 27th, 2008, 02:21

Hmm... ok... checking ALL the Indian stations which are all frantically covering live and still nothing on the Marriott (also BBC World) .. so I don't know if that is true yet. Jeez I hope not... I would imagine that as soon as this all happened security was stepped up a thousand-fold... I hope I hope.

BBC in the UK reports there's shooting near the Maharashtra Assembly Building. Hostages being held at the Taj Hotel.

judecg · Nov 27th, 2008, 02:22

OK.... confirmation.. there has been NO attack at the Marriott... but outside the Ramada Hotel near the Marriott... sigh... too much

Enchantedwon · Nov 27th, 2008, 02:27

I hope your right about security being stepped up Jude. That will give our families some sense of relief. I'll use that to ward off any worried comments we get tomorrow (Thanksgiving).

Ignite · Nov 27th, 2008, 02:31

3 senior police officers seriously injured, 4 confirmed dead. Maharashtra CM has confirmed the Military is stepping in right now.
