I was just entering Borivali station when I heard a blast. I was on my way to Churchgate.


I went onto the bridge and I saw the blast had happened in the 1st class compartment next to the ladies 1st class compartment. The whole second gate of the 1st class was popped up like a popcorn flake.


The situation is beyond description. I could see charred bodies of four men and one woman being taken away on stretchers. I think they were dead.


I caught a rickshaw back to office, which I thought is a safer place.


Nobody was accompanying the bodies, which were being carried in an auto rickshaw. One body fell out of the rickshaw on the turning of the Chamunda circle. A few women on the road fainted seeing the condition of the body.


It was really a horrendous scene.

We were at the G7 theatre at Bandra. The movie was supposed to start at 6.45 but, suddenly, at around 6.30, we heard a loud bang. There was smoke emanating from the tracks nearby. We then saw people climbing on the walls between the tracks and the theatre and running. That is when we realised what had happened."

I saw people running everywhere. Local people were doing all they could to help. The police came so late, after everything was over. The police are so bad, but people are so helpful and they did very well. People are dead. Many are running and there are so many people dead. This is a very sad scene.

I was in Jogeshwari when the blast took place at 6.35 pm. It was a very tragic moment in my life to see a lot of bodies strewn all around me on the platform. I am still dazed. May God bless everyone.

I was standing at Mahim station at the Harbour line platform. The fast train going towards Andheri just arrived at the station and the front portion of the train just flew away. People who were hanging outside because of the rush flew out of the train and other people ran. There was a mess. I was really depressed to see people lying on the tracks.

I saw a huge ball of smoke rising and people running. It was like hell.



Kondap, Bandra station

Yes, I saw the Mira Road bomb blast. I had gone for a walk on the flyover and heard the blast. There are so many people dead here. It is a shame for the Mumbai Police.



Abhishek, Mira Road

I was on platform number 5 of the Borivali station. The blast occurred at platform number 4, just 10 metres from me.



Ketan Jain, Borivali

I have a shop on Mira Bhayander road and that is where I was when this incident happened. I heard the blast and found out about the bomb a few minutes later. When I got there, I was shocked. There were a lot of people. Some were crying. All injured people were taken to the hospitals in Mira Road. Every hospital here is full, and some are not admitting the injured.



May God bless the injured. I will pray for them.

I was on the tracks over the Khar subway and saw a train coming towards me. Suddenly, the top of the train blew up and people were thrown on the tracks. After some time, the train stopped moving and a lot of people from the nearby Golibar area came to rescue them. I have seen the unity in our people. Irrespective of religion, they simply came to help. I am proud to be a son of India. I hope politicians don't use this as a tool to divide us.

I was in the Mahim train in which the blast occurred. I just heard it and there was smoke everywhere. I leaned out of the train but couldn't see anything because of the smoke. As soon as the train stopped, we got out and crossed the platform to reach the roads.

We were waiting to catch the 6.24 pm. local train at Borivali station. In a few minutes, the overflowing train entered on platform No.4. By looking at the compartment, we realised it was impossible to enter. The first class compartment passed in front of us and, a few seconds later, we heard a blast. The top of the compartment was just blown away. Ladies and men started rushing everywhere. I saw some people helping others stay calm and making a way for ladies to move. In the next 15-20 minutes, police come with an ambulance, took away the bodies and cleared all platforms. This is the time to show our unity to the people who want to break us.

Is that Biden I hear.. haha

LOL...That's what I was thinking.

Maybe we should take out a bunch of terrorists on an "eleventh".

[princess leah]

7/11 = India

Convenience Store connection don't ya know?

[GVnana]

Well, I hope they capture the b*st*rds. Surely the Hindus would have traditional torture techniques.

[Liberty Valance]

I missed the reason for the name change of Bombay to Mumbai. Any special significance?

[RightWhale]

Interesting these perps have been captured so quickly. Perhaps the Indian citizens are more willing to rat out the criminals than those in Baghdad who are inclined to independent activity.

[Integrityrocks]

Good question and "odd" number months too.

[cripplecreek]

Maybe there's an unknown islamic cult that worships Spinal Tap.

Terrorist held in south Delhi; 2.5 kg RDX seized

Press Trust of India

New Delhi, July 11, 2006

A terrorist was on Tuesday arrested in south Delhi and 2.5 kg RDX seized from his possession, police said.

Aijaz Hussain, hailing from Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested from Lodhi road area after police received a tip-off about his movement, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Alok Kumar said.

Police was interrogating him to find out if he has any links with the serial blasts in Srinagar and Mumbai and to find which terrorist outfit he belonged to, he said.

An amount of Rs 49 lakh was also seized from his possession, police said, adding according to their information Hussain was working for one Pakistan-based militant Mukhtar Ahmed.

Hussian, who has been living in Jangpura locality of south Delhi, was arrested when he reached the Lodhi Road area in a car to apparently hand over the cash and explosives to someone.

Police, meanwhile, has stepped up security and checking in and around the national capital in the wake of blasts in Mumbai and Srinagar. They are also conducting random searches in hotels and lodges.

Dang, that was fast!

[tobyhill]

Very interesting connection. The next one will be on 11/11 for the Dollar General.

[AmericanInTokyo]

It has always been 'Mumbai' actually. Just in the last 200 years, the British started mispronouncing it 'Bombay'. It reverted in most publications, maps, news, etc. several years ago back to Mumbai (again, it is actually pronounced that way in local Marathi dialect). Same for Kolkatta, Pune, and Bengaluru these days.

[phillyfanatic]

Would it not be grand if they executed them on public TV?? Can you hear the Leftists now?? Maybe it would actually shock some of the apathetic public here that the war against Islamofascists is really serious.

[voice of india]

The reason for this change was that in two of the local languages, Marathi and Gujarati, the city has long been called Mumbai. It is believed that the name comes from the name of one of the old Koli goddesses, Mumba Devi.
