Mumbai: Trapped In Terror
On 26th November 2008, the world watched as Mumbai was struck by absolute terror. Trapped in their hotel room while gunmen roamed the corridors, Australian victims recall their fears and ultimate rescue.
Hiding for his life, Garrick Harvison captured those chilling moments on his mobile. Gunshots are heard in the background. 'The most difficult part is not knowing what is going on the other side
More.. of that door', he whispers. Then his phone rings: terrorists trying to lure him outside. Debra Bayne, another trapped Australian, had to listen while her neighbors were killed. The nights were hard, listening to explosions next to your room. Still shaken by the memory, Debra recalls her rescue: When we came out of my room we had to walk over all the people who had been killed. Then we had to go down a fire escape in the dark, nineteen stories The gunmen also rampaged through hospitals and slums, killing many Indians. Like Garrick and Debra, the people of Mumbai are trying to move on.

Mumbai, India. My what a lovely, exotic place full of lovely exotic people. So different from boring old insert-name-of-country-here. Now lets get the **** out of here and go home.

I was home in Tulsa when they had the attacks. I was watching CBS news and the next thing I knew the reporter there was running up to interview a guy. As soon as they caught up I realized it was a former client of mine! His wife and 5 others were sitting at a table when teh gunmen burst in. Killed all of them except his wife and one other person at the table. Horrible stuff.

Problem is, especially in Europe, that more countries are becoming muslim.
