This piece was placed in the hard disk for several days before it dared to open;
From suffocation all the time, to panting afterwards...
60 hours of bloodshed was enough to destroy a city.
It can also squeeze human nature dry.
A past that the whole world can't look back on.
The 9/11 terrorist attacks in India.
Mumbai, on November 26, became a blood city.
At 8 p.m., ten "terrorists" disembarked from Goraba in inflatable boats.
They shot civilians indiscriminately with machine guns at the Chhatrapati Shivaji railway station and in the Leopold cafe in batches.

At 10:30 p.m., the terrorists arrived in the heart of Mumbai, the Taj Mahal Hotel.
Another indiscriminate massacre befell.
The level of cruelty speaks for itself.
Now more than 10 years later, the film based on this incident has been put on the big screen, showing us the most terrifying side of the terrorist attack .
Hotel Mumbai
Directed by: Anthony Maras
Starring: Amy Hammer / Nazanin Boniati
Genre: Drama / Thriller
Region: Australia
Release Date: 2018-09-07 (Toronto Film Festival)
Co-produced by Australia, the United States, and India, "Hotel Mumbai" recreates Mumbai, India's largest city, experiencing a purgatory on earth in 2008.
The film's restoration of the scene of the cruel terrorist attack is too high, and it is precisely because of the film's visual display of violence and bloodshed, coupled with the sensitivity of the subject matter, that "Mumbai Hotel" has been banned in many countries, and none of the six major Hollywood companies are willing to take over.
As a result of this, the producers of "Hotel Mumbai" lost even their pants, and the global box office was only $16.49 million, while it cost at least $30 million.
God closes a door for you, and he opens a window for you, and despite the box office failure, he earned a high score of 8.4 in word of mouth.
I have to say that the 2-hour film length design is just right.
It is recommended that when you watch the movie, it is best not to fast-forward.
Because what you want is this sense of deep substitution that you are waiting for.
November 2008, Mumbai.
Next to the tourist-studded Taj Mahal, there is a 108-year-old grand hotel.
In the evening, major events took place on the streets of Mumbai, with countless people flocking to the hotel.
The two young men also followed the crowd and entered the hotel.
They saw the palatial hotel lobby and exclaimed—
Heaven, that's it.
But the next second, at their guns, heaven becomes a purgatory on earth....
It was a well-planned terrorist attack.
The terrorists split into two groups, one guarding the hotel lobby and killing guests and hotel staff.
The other group went upstairs, room by room, to slaughter, or specifically to kill fish that slipped through the net.
To learn about this terrorist attack, go back in time.
In the morning, a rubber boat with 10 terrorists arrived in Mumbai.
Although they look ordinary, like tourists, they carry large bags, wear headphones, and silently read the scriptures.
These people have a clear goal, get into a taxi, directly state the destination, simple and neat, without dragging mud and water.
At this time, the Taj Mahal Hotel, which was selected as the destination, was still bustling as usual.
The hotel's chef still strictly checks the staff's clothing and appearance.
Instructed the staff to make all the preparations for the arrival of the VIPs.
A mysterious tycoon from Russia is picking out his "girlfriend" who spends the Spring Festival with after dinner, and this time he wants two.....
The Indian tycoon who has children out of wedlock has some leisure time.
She asked the nanny to take the children and went on a date with her fiancé from the United States to eat.
The two were qingqing me, but they were swept away by the Russians who bought spring on the other side.....
Upstairs in the room, the babysitter with the child finally put the child to sleep.
She dragged her tired body toward the bathtub to get ready for a shower.
At this moment, explosions were everywhere.
Explosions, gunshots, and wailing instantly resounded throughout the city.
The Mumbai police who rushed to the scene were unprepared, ambushed and strafed on the road by terrorists armed with ak47 submachine guns, and were beaten to the ground.....
Two gangsters hijack a police car and roam the city to commit crimes, spreading deadly panic throughout the city...
Under the live broadcast of the television station, the panic spread to almost all parts of Mumbai.
Under the sensational headlines of various media outlets, everyone thought that Mumbai had been attacked by a hostile country.....
Coming to Mumbai is definitely a well-trained enemy special forces force.
Restaurants near the Taj Mahal Hotel were also attacked.
Panicked tourists frantically flocked to the door of the Taj Mahal hotel, while the hotel staff and guests knew nothing about it.
Looking at the panicked people outside, the hotel director did not hesitate to order the door to be opened.
It is this act of goodwill that has plunged the hotel, guests, and employees into a place of perdition.
Among the people who poured in, several terrorists disguised as wounded people quietly mixed in.
Before the panicked people could catch their breath, the killing began in this luxury hotel.
1,000 guests and more than 500 staff members were collectively trapped in this hotel.
Shortly after the attack on the hotel, a spontaneous police squad stormed into the hotel, ready to rescue the hostages.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, the police squad suffered a catastrophe, and almost the entire army was destroyed!
As for special forces, Mumbai didn't have them at all, and it was almost impossible for their police here to quell multiple large-scale military-level attacks.
Professional counterterrorism forces are still 800 miles away in New Delhi, and it will take at least a few hours to arrive.
That's why extremists can carry out a 60-hour terrorist attack without fear.
In addition, the portraits of sentient beings shown in the film are another reason why the audience has a strong sense of substitution.
But when a terrorist attack comes, they are just normal people, they will take risks for their children, go to danger, and save their loved ones.
There are hotel staff who choose to escape alone because of fear.
For the safety of the guests, there is a chef who chooses to stay behind to protect and guide everyone out of danger.
There are also selfish rich guests.
For the sake of professional ethics refused to provide false information, the front desk of the hotel was brutally executed.
And these small people who are doomed are naked and true reproductions in real society.
But the more ironic reality is that 6 hours after the incident, the police still have no special police officers to enter the scene to rescue.
Police officers at the scene were helpless against the gunmen in the hotel.
There are also the media that have helped, and the plan of a hundred people to escape in secret has been reported by the media.
After being informed by the commander of the terrorist members in the sky, bull, he informed his accomplices in the hotel to chase and intercept this group of people who tried to escape, and there was chaos.
The incompetence of the Indian police shown in the film is not exaggerated, in line with the real situation, and the terrorists did learn from the media reports where the Taj Mahal hotel guests were hiding.
As one of the great powers in the third world, the media and the official are also pig-like teammates, and such a strange combination is also quite rare.
What is even more shocking is that what would have been an avoidable disaster turned into a terrorist attack that was ignored.
In fact, before the terrorist attack, the intelligence services of India, the United States, and the United Kingdom had already detected the conspiracy clues of terrorist organizations, but they were paralyzed and careless, resulting in tragedy.
Prior to this, the Indian side had cracked and destroyed the organization's preparations for an attack, seized a large number of weapons, and they were forced to move abroad to continue the preparations for the terrorist attack.
On the second occasion, India's intelligence services also detected the conspiracy of terrorist organizations, but the advice given by the relevant departments was that the situation was unknown and not to interfere.
The authorities' misjudgments have left innocent people to blame, and the world will really get better and better, or will it be unstoppablely degenerate, and hopefully we will never become the doomsday generation.
