Another explosion at the Taj and now thick smoke pouring out at the top near the dome. It's continuing.. not sure if fire has broken out. Or a smoke bomb...

Correct.

Hostages possibly/likely involved in both cases

Night is quickly falling on Mumbai. I haven't slept properly for past 2 nights and its getting up to 11:15 pm here in Sydney.

Will stay on for some more time though.

I know what you mean LilBog BigTown, its 4:10 AM for me here in LA, and I think i'm just going to call it a night for now, hopefully everything clears before we hit the 48 hour mark in another 5 hours.

Plumes of smoke is coming out of the Taj Hotel. Not sure if its a fire or another "smoke out" by the army and commandos.

Thanks LA and Australia.. my two ex-countries

We're all in this together and the world is a small place. back in 2001 we said we're all American... and now today we're all Indian, I think. get some rest. It has to end soon.

MASSIVE explosion on Nariman House 4th floor, commandos are slowly climbing down from the terrace.

Times Now reporter says the operation at Nariman House "could be over". This is not confirmed though.

He goes on to say that the explosion was so massive that the entire floor shook. He also says that the commandos seem to be in a celebratory mood.

Stand by for further updates.

Massive explosion on 4th floor at Nariman house.

A wall has been blown out apparently. Fierce fierce fighting now.

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 28th, 2008, 18:48

Gunshots still being heard from Nariman House, more smoke pouring out of the window.

Heavy firing on, it says commandos have located the terrorists and have engaged them.

I have a feeling its about to end. Can't wait.

I can give you the update in advance and that is:

Few dozen lightly armed terrorists killed a couple of hundred innocent civilians in Mumbai over a four days terror rampage because of an incomptetent Indian administration.

You are going to get this slowly over the next two days.

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 18:49

Entire wall of 4th floor blown to pieces... as a result of controlled explosion. Views of the NSG are amazing.. holding their guns over their heads above their hideouts and aiming at the building.

intense gun fire/ explosions over the last half hour reported by BBC at the Taj

Ignite · Nov 28th, 2008, 18:53

From these last few posts, it looks like things are getting more intense right now, so i'm putting sleep on hold right now and about get off my bed and get on the desktop (Its gonna be cold walking across the hallway.)

This is totally disrespectful to hundreds of commandos putting their lives at risk tryin to secure the city.

However good or shambolic the reponse, this is no time to rant. Your post is not worthy of staying on. I hope the mods can get on to it.

While i am really tempted to answer back in the same manner, i am refraining from doing so.

Just hope so that you understand what this thread is all about.

Your talks do not seem worth replying also.
