Good grief- this is endless. Fires all over the Taj, gunfire everywhere.

As a civilian, I’m having difficulty understanding why it takes so long to clear this building. I understand it’s enormous with many rooms- but am not clear why they haven’t called in the infantry to clear.

That’s what I do not understand either.

they need to make sure there are no hostages. I also would not be surprised if they have set explosives surrounding the rooms they were in, or throughout the hotel. It’s also a big building to try and clear.

That is what Colson was just saying on H&C that there is no reason this has taken so long.
