My memoirs of surviving the Mumbai Attacks 26 November 2008.. I tell my story over 10 podcasts. Please do share these stories - it's important that we never forget.
The last of my podcasts - concludes my memoirs of The Attacks. I did return to the Taj Hotel within a few months for a one night stay. What was it like to return? I tell how I felt and how ultimately I found it to be so healing.
This episode describes how I felt as I flew out of Mumbai and I looked down on the city which was still being burning. It also describes how I started my recovery and basic questions I needed answers on - should I talk about my experiences? When I go home to Northern Ireland should I return to India again?
I thought this one would have been easier to produce - it's about how I was rescued - but it reminded me of the detail, the hard work by fiends and family to keep me focused and of course the brave Taj security souls and the NSG Commandos who risked their lives for mine.
From 2am to 8 45am - the most difficult hours.
From 10pm through to 2am - the early hours of the attack : from gunfire and explosions to quietness and then the silence was broken...
9 40pm and the terrorists enter the hotel ... BANG BANG BANG
Day before the Mumbai attacks - just like any other business trip.
My memoirs of surviving the Mumbai Attacks. This podcast covers the immediate days before the attacks on the 26th November 2006. Why was I there and how everything seems just like an ordinary week living and working in India.
