Noted / makes sense. Possibly the “speedboat” info. was not correct or something got lost in the translation...
Right. :-)
NDTV-
LIVE Explosion and gunfire. Police telling reporters to move back. Reporterette panicked.
NDTV just reported hostages in both hotels,,,
“Could be hundreds”,,,
“Being moved to uper floors”,,,
Sorry... previous is happening now at the Trident...
Gunshots in the Trident per a post at Twitter.
Loud explosion at Trident Hotel per a post at Twitter.
“Bomb” just went off at the Trident,,,”Firing”...
Reporterette panicked.

To say the least...
Yeah, I was thinking maybe a fast rubber boat could be translated to “speedboat” pretty easily... This all makes a lot more sense than a 600 mile trip with rubber boats.
Thanks to all for all the good info.
Now it’s G’night, or my wife is going to terrorize ME!

MUMBAI, India – Teams of gunmen stormed luxury hotels, a popular restaurant, a crowded train station and a JEWISH group’s Headquarters in India’s financial capital, killing at least 101 people, taking Westerners hostage and leaving parts of the city under siege Thursday. A group of suspected Muslim militants claimed responsibility.
Police and gunmen were exchanging occasional gunfire at two luxury hotels and dozens of people were believed held hostage or trapped inside the besieged buildings. Pradeep Indulkar, a senior official at the Maharashtra state Home Ministry said 101 people were killed and 287 injured.
Officials said eight militants had also been killed in the coordinated attacks on at least 10 sites that began around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Gunmen also seized the Mumbai headquarters of the Ultra-Orthodox JEWISH outreach group Chabad Lubavitch, the New York-based group said.
Indian commandos surrounded the building Thursday morning and media reports said gunfire was heard from the building.
Police loudspeakers declared a curfew around Mumbai’s landmark Taj Mahal hotel, and black-clad commandos ran into the building as fresh gunshots rang out from the area, apparently the beginning of an assault on gunmen who had taken hostages in the hotel....”

12 terrorists reported holed-up in trident by ndtv ...3 army soldiers hit per another post at Twitter.
After a trip like that the terrorists would have been bounced up and down so bad that they probably could not even stand up on land when they first arrived. Sea legs.
BTW I just watched a replay of Deepack Chopra... that just scared the hell out of me.. .. Obama has to make friends with the muslims and everything is going to be just fine, we caused all this by our reaction after 911 and this is all our fault... what an ass! Where was he the 8 years Clinton kept turing the other cheek to these people??? Why didn't anyone ask him THAT question?
Police confirm one terrorist shot dead at Nariman House Source:Times Now per a post at Twitter
Agent Smith would not tolerate the disturbance in the Matrix.
Well Deepok Chopra just said on CNN that ALL terrorism in the world is the fault of the United States!
The reporter then said “But what about Kashmir? That has nothing to do with the US?” Chopra ignored his statement and said “Terrorism has to be the concern of everyone worldwide.”
What an ass.

I was livid listening to him and them treating him like some freaking terrorism expert.
