I've started watching this now as well...
Thing that stands out to me is how people are saying that it was a police van that the firing was coming from, I don't really know what's going on because no previous information is coming through. Could you maybe update the topic with what has already happened?

I'm not sure why it's not working for you steel. There's 18 dead so far, there's so many areas of attack... VT station, Taj motel, Cama Hospital, Metro Cinema...
and btw army are moving now.

NOW there's more firing at metro cinema.... fuck tonnes of screaming on the stream. It sounds horrible

This is the first time I've ever actually witnessed live feeds like this since 9/11, the reality of the situation is so much more shocking now, especially when people were getting shot right on camera.

Man Steel my dad was actually in New York during the 9/11 attacks (he used to go there a lot) so I kind of know what that feels like. It was fucking hell until the organization responsible for the conference called us 3-4 hours after the collapse to tell us he was safe...

All I could find was FORT MUMBAI I dunno if that's a district though?

The news in India is so much more graphic.

Or maybe I just don't watch the news enough.

I don't know what's more bizarre. The fact that a bunch of people are trying to kill as many as they can, or the fact we're watching it live. If you're interested, there's probably a live feed up at your favorite news station, I'm watching it on CNN right now.

you're right Dada this is really surreal watching it live, hearing the gunshots and screams is terrifying.

How many of you are expecting like a crazed vehicle or an explosion to happen in the background when the news reporters start speaking live on the streets in front of the camera? Like, I've got my finger hovering over Print Screen for some reason...

EDIT: 3 Blasts, 2 in Taj hotel... Other in Oberoi
