Skywatch - Terror under these skies

The terror continues. There are some hostages still to be released and terrorists still to be dealt with in 2 Hotels and 1 residential building. The process has to be obviously handled with utmost care to avoid collateral damage. It is anticipated that the drama will end by 1400hrs Indian time. It is 0940hrs. now. An elite group of NSG (National Security Group) and marine commandos along with aerial support from the IAF (Indian Air Force). It is war!
The death toll since the terror attacks began has now risen to 125.
Hopefully this is the last sunset seen by the terrorists!
Thank you guys for all the good wishes.

  23. According to our 12h00 (17h30 Mumbai time) news, 74 more bodies have been found inside the two hotels this morning! At this very moment I'm watching the Taj (live) and situation is still very danderous! Skynews female reporter is laying on the floor for safety reasons. This is terrifying! Hope it will end soon.

    I have no word to express so much anger against that useless attack, so many lives have been taken for NOTHING. I hate terrorists as much as their cause (which is not one).
