The bloodbath ended at the Taj Hotel on the afternoon of Saturday, Nov 29. Bang opposite Gateway of India, and one of the more enduring images of Mumbai, thick smoke had billowed out of its famous domed exteriors and loud sounds were heard as the terrorists used every arsenal in their possession to kill and maim.
Finally, after the militants were curbed, the last of the survivors was brought out by security personnel, trembling and terrified but grateful of the many bravehearts inside who had helped them through the ordeal.
