Attacks on Mumbai: updates and info thread.

Could be a "smoke out" operation. Non stop heavy firing is on.

There is more smoke billowing out from several parts of the hotel. More gunshot heard.

The exchange is extremely heavy. A body has just fallen out of the ground floor window.

Phew, heavy shooting at the Taj on Times Now. A body fell out of a ground-floor window, so they repeated this about a dozen times [edit: they're still doing so now, must be the capture of the past few hours], you'd think going by their euphoria the commenting reporter had shot the person themselves (they mentioned they don't even know if it was an occupier or a blackcat).

I'm sorry, I'm way too cynical for this live reporting, so over to you guys, keep up the good work.

No confirmation on the body that fell out of the window. It could be anybody.

There is lots of movement outside the hotel.

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:31

It now appears that the body was deliberately thrown out of the window. Who is it????

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:32

Black smoke still continues to pour out of several wisdows.

Fresh gunfire heard from ground floor. Heavy exchange, surely not a one sided firing. Commandos must have engaged the terrorists.

Where are you getting your news from? I'm watching CNN, but they aren't really talking about anything happening right now. No mention of a body falling out of a window. :-/

The window that saw someone thrown out has now caught fire. More exchange of fire. Very heavy and steady.\

Media asked to step back and duck.

ground floor is now on fire ....

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:37

Several commandos seen coming out of the front foor. Is this it?

I'm personally watching

Maybe LilBoy or others have some other live links for you.

Hey can we ask you to switch your font to standard? It really reads better to everyone.

Oh, and welcome to IndiaMike, btw. Odd as the occasion may be. Do feel free to scroll back through this thread, massive though it may arguably be by now.

More gunshots heard. 2 commandos seen on 2nd floor.

It would seem they are not far from the terrorists. Fire still burning, if anything it has now intensified.

Swapnil · Nov 29th, 2008, 08:44

ground & 1st floor now on fire...
