Default FDX- Mumbai layover hotel under seige

The news is reporting that multiple targets in Mumbai India are under attack by terrorists. Local reporters are listing the Oberoi and Taj hotels on fire and at least 80 dead 150 wounded (not all casualties are at the hotels).

Keep your heads down and God bless.

Default Remember OPSEC

This is an ongoing attack. Please lets refrain from discussing which hotels our crews are in and whether or not there are any crews there now, Brown, Purple or otherwise.

They are taking hostages as we speak.

Gary at Gemsstar Jewelers in the basement of the Oberoi is safe. They also hit the Leopold Cafe where I've enjoyed many meals. If anyone gets word on Anil, let us know.

My prayers go out to anybody who might have friends/family over there right now.

Watching MSNBC and it appears that government officials are starting to regain control of the Taj.
