not the best news site in the world I know but...

Taj Palace / Taj Mahal hotel (i.e. where my DH is staying). Not the Taj Mahal itself.

Surprisingly enough, I have a thread about this already...

dizzydixies · 26/11/2008 22:32

my bad, it IS the hotel

That's the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, not the actual Taj Mahal (just in case anyone is confused). It does seem to be an extremely out of control situation and from the footage that they showed on BBC news I'd be surprised if the casualties are as low as the Indian offical figures. Fingers crossed that that hostages are released.

Its the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai. DH was watching, horrified, he stayed there the one business trip he made to India.

It seems Islamic terrorists attacking one enemy (Americans and British) in the heart of another (India). Dreadful.

Urgh, how horrible. I was staying in the Taj Palace in Mumbai 2 years ago today. It's a beautiful building. How frightening and awful for the people.

It's awful, seems to be worse this morning with the number of dead and injured rising.

Portandemon, is your dh somewhere safe?

It's just terrible. My thoughts are with your DH and you PortAndLemon.

My DH is away on business right now in India too, in Bangalore - staying in a 5-star hotel.
