A wheelchair is placed right outside the hotel frontdoor.

as per Rediff..... Snipers have taken position at Hotel Taj...

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 07:59

Firing heard on 3rd floor.

OK I've put IBN/CNN back on, could be worth reposting the link here (live stream): http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/video_streaming.php

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:03

Firing heard from ground and 3rd floor. There may be more than 1 terrorist holed up still.

It is definitely not over just yet.

Does that Times Now many of you mention offer a live stream, and if so, can you provide the direct URL? I don't know it, and the site's not loading here. Probably overload or something. Is it an Indian station, or international, or...? (*Never mind, I see now it's a venture of The Times of India and Reuters, covering South Asia. I guess the site must be on overload yes. So does it do live streaming?)

Times Now reports that the security forces may have been forced to go to plan B.

There are snipers on cranes, lifted high above the ground. They are looking directly at a window on 3rd floor.

Several gunshots heard.

Thanks, that works.

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:14

Continous gunfire, followed by another large explosion.

More gunshots. Heavy exchnage of fire. The sort you would expect when there is an engazement.

Surely not a cautionary shot.

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:15

Media asked to step back again. Some half dozen commandos seen patrolling.

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:18

This could yet drag on for a while. They are now reporting 'several' terrorists still holed up on different floors of the hotel.

Firing heard from ground and 3rd floor.

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:22

More gunshots, all coming from different part of the hotels.

Lends further credence that there is more than 1 terrorist, Thick, black smoke billowing out of 1st floor windows.

I had heard about something going on in India yesterday, but it was only until just now when I saw this thread I realized what was going on, and turned on CNN. This is so horrible.

I can't believe it's been going on for 2 days!
