With the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels taken out, the terrorists would never consider our crew hotel as a target. Crew safety our number one concern. Now they think there might be 5 gunman not captured.

CX is being completely irresponsible to its crew by continuing to over night in Mumbai, when there is every chance more of these nutters are out there.

The 2 hotels hijacked by the terrorists were picked because they were top quality international standard hotels, frequented by the upper crust of Western visitors.

If the job the gunmen started was finished by dropping a bomb on the place, you'd do about 50 bucks worth of damage, and that would include the cost of the bomb!
Its a serious dump, although with some fresh air blowing through the bullet holes in the windows, might get rid of that damp musty smell.

It's an odd anomaly that all Indian people refer to Mumbai as a nice place. Of course it is a total shethole for all to see and (hopefully) avoid.
Maybe the gunmen did a public service in the final analysis.

You sure have a dirty mouth for a supposing nice girl flying a nice EWB. Bombay is a **** hole or not, there are people who lost their lives. Please show some respect.
p.s I'm not even Indian. That’s just manners.

What is your point ?

Flying into both Bombay and Delhi. Additional security not obvious so my guess is it does not exist. Security at hotels still expected to defend us with their bare hands. Delhi hotel has a metal detector at the door. They must expect well behaved terrorists to pass their AK47s through the machines where they can be refused entry rather than storm up the steps spraying full metals at all and sundry.
They are in denial.

Interestingly security is not a factor taken into consideration when selecting a crew hotel. The initial group of 5 or so to be considered are purely selected on price only.
