On November 26, 2008, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the busiest train station in India, was crowded with people. The air was filled with the chattering of passengers, as people moved from place to place, preoccupied with their own matters.
Suddenly, all hell broke loose. Gunfire, explosions, screams. In an instant, 58 were dead while 104 others screamed in pain and fear as blood rushed out of their wounds.
The Mumbai Terror attacks had begun.
All around South Mumbai, locations were being bombed. These locations were not just random places - they were places where people gathered in large numbers. The attacks occured in so many places over such a large area, within such a short period of time, that security forces were unsure what to do at first. It was a well coordinated attack.
The Mumbai Terror attacks, known by the Indians as 26/11, were one of the worst terror attack ever faced by the Indian government. Multiple targets were hit in South Mumbai, and brought about a total death toll of 164 (including 10 terrorists). In this wiki, we shall be exploring the causes of this event, the event itself, and the impacts it brought about.
