Not seeing 90 dead ... yet Just saw some footage inside Leopolds... a mess .. ugh.

And a photo of one of the young terrorists... wow.. so young..and crazed looking.

They're still saying there are about 40 people inside the Oberoi... but the Oberoi and Trident are connected so it's a little unclear. We are seeing a lot of footage of people up in their rooms looking out and looking scared... that's for sure. But I can't tell if it's repeated footage.

This reminded me immediately of the Luxor massacre in 1997, just shows that straight-forward shootings can potentially do as much damage as bombs.
