Does this really need to be here?

edit

"These claims are widely believed to be untrue and attempts by terrorists to smear the Indian government, which is widely recognized as having an excellent human rights record."

This is near the very end of the article, describing the claims by the terrorists that their confessions were extracted by torture. Who widely believes them to be true? Who widely recognizes India as having an excellent human rights record?

Initial Comments

edit

Kindly update. --Bhadani 14:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Should we edit it that this is an obvious terror attack by Muslim terrorists?
NOTHING is obvious yet except for the blasts. --mav 14:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Do you want to cause riots ? have some sense, brother Ashankar 14:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please do not put in speculations that the blasts were caused by any group, without at least citing the source of such claims. Ashankar 14:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've removed the most glaring bit of speculation. Should the "In Srinagar eight persons are reported to have been killed in the attacks believed to be carried out unidentified Islamic extremists" line be removed until more concrete information is available, as well? --ellF 14:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
The Home Secretary has said that there is no link b/w bombay bomb blasts and srinagar bomb blasts, should we delete the above passage? Ashankar 15:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
A passage reads: "In Srinagar eight persons, including six tourists from West Bengal, were reported to have been killed in the attacks reportedly carried out by unidentified Islamic extremists". I feel that while locating the Bombay blasts in the context of the recent Srinagar blasts on the same day is all right, the quoted sentence at best is irrelevant to this article and at worst, obliquely seeks to connect the two incidents without any pre-published source for such a link. When read in the light of the denial by the Home Secretary, I feel that the deletion of the quoted sentence is valid. Ashankar 16:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Please read the source. Do you thing that you are an investigating agency? We write here based on references and reference is in the link with the news of the Jerusalem Post. Why you are so touchy? --Bhadani 15:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
As the most recent comment by Ashankar indicates, there is still a lot of unverified information being discussed. Requesting that the article adhere to a certain level of neutrality and precision is not, I feel, being touchy. Do you disagree? --ellF 15:45, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

We should not be guided by our personal feelings and emotions. We should edit to make the wikipedia an authentic source of information. Please think of the time when wikipedia will become a source of referecne instead of we searching the referecnes! --Bhadani 14:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Various "terrorist" statements are being added without reference. Please cite sources! --ellF 14:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

You are welcome to search the information and cite sources, if you find. Please assume good faith and do not de-motivate the editors working on the Breaking news article. Investigation into such things take years, so do not feel so bad if you do not find immediate references: please always assume good faith and keep a WP:NPOV. Your 22 edits in eight months are good. But, to learn more about wikipedia more involvement is necessary. Thanks. --Bhadani 15:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. However, adding uncited references to "Islamist extremists" is problematic, especially in the current political climate, which is the point that I have been arguing. Demotivating editors and requesting that prejudice be avoided strike me as being markedly different, and lumping the two together is a bit unfair. --12.38.113.2 15:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Great to see you coming after 5th April 2006 to talk about this page. I am sure that you have been editing and reading wikipedia and are well aware of our policies. I have sent a welcome message to you to have a user name - that will make you more comfortable. This will also make others more comfortable. However, you may continue to edit without any user name, if you so wish. --Bhadani 15:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
The core policy of this encyclopedia is that every single statement, argument, fact, etc, has to be previously published. If you can't cite a source for a statement it must not be added to the article. mdf 15:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the clarification, mdf. My understanding was that non-cited material did not belong here, but Bhandani's comments and Admin status made me question my edits. However, the quotation and article you mention seem to back up my understanding of how to contribute correctly here, and I believe that they supercede the assumption of good-faith argument proposed above. --ellF 16:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

coincedence

edit

it is just me or are all these terrorist attacks happening either on the 7th or the 11th of any given month? 12.100.11.146 14:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

This is the third event happening on the day 11, yes. --TheFEARgod 16:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
So it's not just a coincidence it's 7/11? Creepy.--Planetary 23:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Actually I was looking for a place to post the same ideas. 9/11 in USA, 3/11 in Madrid, 7/11 in London and now 7/11 again in Mumbai. I think there is a message in here which we are just not getting it. I believe its a little more than a coincidence to happen. These look like meticulously planned acts. I am sure the thinktanks of the world are thinking about the same, but what baffles me is how we get back to our normal life a few days later and forget about what happened. Its a harsh reminder that we are not safe, no matter where we live. I think the best way to deal with these coward guys is to try and think like them. It will be soon time when we will have to take harsh decisions to take out these bad guys but going to the places they breed. I just read a report on Israel's attacks which mentioned about countries which have refugee camps that act as incubators of terrorism. Some of the countries which have been friendly on the face have been thriving grounds for terrorists. These countries breed hate within for the western world, but on face would show that they are allies of the west. What more proof do we want against these terrorists. The reason the terrorists are what they are today is due to the fact that the government of countries they are based in support them. How long shall we fool ourselves thats its one an act in solitary. Just as globalization has got the world closer and one place, so has terrorism consolidated into a true international entity. Its time that as responsible citizens of the one world, to get united against terrorism. Its time we hunt these terrorist down in their burrows. --P bay 04:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
The events you are describing transpired over a period of five years. That's 60 "11ths". How many bombings/attacks have occured in these five years? Many, many more than on just the 11th's. 169.233.46.65 05:06, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

dumbass.... it is 7/7 for London....

You are correct! It is not just a coincidence. If you define the word coincidence as Carl Jung did, you'll see that it is unbelievably impossible to have a coincidence. Yes, everything is planned on the 11's. Ready for the list? Ready or not, here you go:

WTC 9/11/2001 11 years to the day after Bush Sr. announced we were going into Kuwait to oust Saddam. 9+1+1=11 The two towers looked like an 11. One of the flights was AA11. The towers fell to a height of 11 stories. The first tower collapsed in 11 seconds. AA77 struck the Pentagon which is 77' tall and lies on the 77th meridan, 83(11)seconds after AA11 first went off course. Bush ordered all flags flown half mast for 11 days until 9/22. Combined total windows in the two towers, 10,280(11). This list goes on. Each tower had 110 floors (11:11)

Madrid 3/11/2004 occured 911(11) days after 9/11/2001, and is 182(11) days after 9/11 as it occurs in the calendar. 3/11/2004 also fell in the 11th week of the year, although 3/11 doesn't always occur during the 11th week. There was also 191(11) deaths.

London 7/7/2005(7) 3 bombs went off in London during the G8 conference. 37 is sacred geometry number. Any number in numerology can be reversed and still have the same meaning. 73 would be the mirror of 37. The Space Shuttle Challenger blew up exactly 73 seconds after lift off. The first report of casualties in London was 33 deaths, 300 casualties (333), then 700 casualties and 37 deaths, then 38(11), then 39(13,13,13) and so on and so forth. The finally tally of deaths on that day was 52. Another 7!

Katrina 8/29/2005 (2+9=11!!!) (8x11=88;8+8=16;1+6=7) the year, 2005(7) She hit landfall with winds at 160(7) mph. August 29th is the 241(7) day of the year with 124(7) days remaining.

It goes back as far as history records. And if you think it's coincidence, you'd be wise to rethink your position.

For example: WWII ended on 11/11 at 11 am.

JFK was assasinated on 11/22(=33)/1963 in Dallas TX located on the 33rd parallel.

Roswell NM is located on the 33rd parallel, as is Alomogordo/White Sands NM where they dropped the first atomic test bomb at the Trinity(3) test site on 7/14(777)/1945. Before I continue with the rest of the history for that summer, I must go back 169 years to July 4th, 1776. The US was founded on and rests on the number 13. Just take a look at the back of the One Dollar Bill and you'll see what I mean. 13 layers of bricks, 13 letters in Annuit Ceptous, 13 stars in the hexagram above the Eagle, 13 leaves AND olives on the olive branch in one claw, and 13 arrows in the other claw. Probably more, but you get the idea. (can you find the owl on the One Dollar Bill?) Anyway, back to July 4th, 1776. From that date until July 4th, 1945 was 169 years. 13x13=169. From July 4th, 1945 until August 6th, 1945, was 33 days (the 6th is essentially 33) That was the day the US dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Then 3 days later on the 9th (333) the dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. Both cities straddle the 33rd parallel. 100's of thousands of people were killed.....need I say more?

Oh, by the way, Baghdad is located at 33'03" North Parallel. How many have they killed in Iraq?

Folks, there are no extremist groups of the sort that are causing all of these world events. The only extremist groups we need to be concerned with, are our own governments! Do your research. Albert Einstein said: "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." he also said: "Question everything, especially authority." The herd mentality will have many of you shoot back a rebuttal without even doing a lick of research. No one likes to admit that they could be duped so thorougly as to be living in a world that is so controlled and run by neocons who have us fooled from the moment they slap us on the ass out of the womb. (which by the way, served only one purpose...it causes immediate trama and sets up the human brain on a learning process that from that moment on, it looks for negativety as a way of getting reward or attention. Thank goodness they don't do it as much as they used to. The trama also makes us forget where we just came from. Any trama before the age of 6 is extremely damaging to the very malliable mind of a child.)

German/Deutsche Version

Is there a German version of this page available? I'd like to cooperate in it. 81.182.173.123 14:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I had started editing a German language page, but just after a few minutes it was deleted with no excuse. Although similar terror attacks (9/11, Madrid, London) are already among German Wiki-articles. 81.182.173.123 15:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I do not have any idea about the policies followed by the German wikipedia. Normally, an item which is currently a Breaking news in the [2] wikinews should be an important item to be inclusion in all wikipedias. --Bhadani 15:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Terrorist Arrested

edit

I have added this info:

A terrorist has been arrested by the New Delhi police in New Delhi's Jungpura area. 50 kgs. of RDX has been seized from him along with a sum of Rs. 50 lakhs, who is being said to be associated with these bomb blasts.

I saw it on Aaj Tak and Zee News, not updated on their site, but shall be put soon.

Without citation, this probably shouldn't be part of the main article. It appears that someone has already removed it -- perhaps you could repost it if it turns out to be relevant and when you can cite the source? --ellF 15:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Now, as I have the citation, I think I can post it. Right??

Name of article

edit

Is this the correct name for this article? --Emijrp 15:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The correct name should be 11 July 2006 Mumbai train explosions or even better 2006 Mumbai train explosions. I think we should move the page to either of these, preferably the latter. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 15:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I agree, especially for the latter. --Merovingian {T C @} 16:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
What happens if someone blows up more trains later this year in Mumbai? It makes sense to leave the article title as is. -- Wikitravel Sapphire 21:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yes someone please change it, it has been bugging me for a while now how the media loves to surrender an entire day on the calender over to terrorists. 9/11, 7/7, 7/11, 3/11. Are they going to keep doing this until each country gets a terrorist day of their own? I would hope that people make a concious effort to refer to these attacks as the World Trade Center Attacks, the Pentagon Attack, The London Bus and Tube Bombings, The Madrid Train bombings, and now the Mumbai Train bombings. I know it may take a little longer to say but for me at least if gives me the satisfaction of knowing that I am not losing days from my calendar to terrorists.
Perhaps you'll be lucky. Notice how your list didn't include 10/21, the date of the 2002 Bali bombings despite the fact that more people died then in either 3/11 or 7/7... Nil Einne 17:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Terrorist arrested: Speculation?

edit

One section now reads: "A terrorist has been arrested[11] by the New Delhi police in New Delhi's Jungpura area. 2 kgs. of RDX has been seized from him along with a sum of Rs. 50 lakhs, who is being said to be associated with these bomb blasts

Zeenews article says: "Terrorist arrested :Meanwhile, a person suspected to be a terrorist has been arrested in Jangpura area of Central Delhi. The police recovered 2 kg RDX from his possession. Bureau Report". Where does the 'said to be associated' part come from ? Tintin (talk) 15:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

"They went off at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga, Khar Road, Santacruz, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Bhayandar.[2][3]" phrase doesn't say the same that Casualties table. --Emijrp 15:38, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The Spirit of Wiki (formerly Goodnight)

edit

When I initated this page, and linked it to the main page, I was not aware that the page shall get so many edits so soon. This is the spirit of wiki. Thank you friends, and goodnight for now.

Let the map of Location of Mumbai in India be there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IndiaMap_mumbai.png Pls. help me about copyright status for this image. This image is taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IndiaMap2.PNG pradeepsomani

It's free to use, since the original was free to use (I presume you just took the other picture and superimposed a circle on top of it). Regardless, in my opinion, a map of Mumbai is not really necessary, especially right now. There are already too many images and not enough content in the article. Mumbai is a major city and so its location does not really need to be pointed out. If some don't know the whereabouts of the city, they can go look at the Mumbai article.

Indian Rupees format

edit

In the "Response" subheading, somebody edited the amount of relief money from "Rs. 1,00,000" to "Rs. 100,000". Although it is customary in the United States to write it in the latter format, almost all of India uses the former format. I think a change back to "Rs. 1,00,000" would be prudent. (Although I see how this may cause confusion to readers who are not aware of the Indian system). Any comments?     Amit 18:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Since its a page essentially about an Indian event, the lakh format would be more suitable. I feel that ultimately most viewers will see the amount, not the format changes. --Kaushik twin 18:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
That needs citation. --Emijrp 18:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Is the main article on Indian rupee not enough citation? I believe it explains the system very well.     Amit 18:12, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Oh, are you talking about the relief money in general, or the format that it is written in?     Amit 18:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I mean about relief money. --Emijrp 18:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Probably the amount. We should get the fact right before the format: "function before fashion", as it were.  ;-) As for the format, though, a string like "1,00,000" will look like it has a missing zero to many North American eyes. Maybe spelling it out? mdf 18:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I think the citation is needed for the amount to be given as Relief Fund, but not for the format. I feel the format should be in Indian format (Lakhs) if the amount is correct, and format doesn't require any citation. -Sahil
Citation for the relief amount comes from NDTV. Quote, "Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh has announced a compensation of Rs one lakh for the relatives of those killed and Rs 50,000 for those injured." [3]. Hope that helps.     Amit 18:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ok, :) --Emijrp 18:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I'm one of those North Americans that thought it looked wrong. I could tell from the USD conversion that it was not 1,000,000, so I thought it had an extra comma. I "fixed" it by removing the extra comma, read the wikilinked article on the currency and came back and reverted my edit. I'm not sure what the best solution is, but as this is an article on an Indian event, Indian format should be used - whether that be one Lakh or 1,00,000 Rs. is what I;m not sure on.

seven or eight..

Criminy! NDTV reported "eight" an hour ago. As I read it now, in fact, it says "seven" in the intro paragraph and then proceeds to describe degtails of an "eighth" in the middle. This suggests we remove NDTV as a "reliable" reference altogether. mdf 18:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
CNN says eight; I added them as a reference. I also updated the table to remove some of the confusion. joturner 18:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Seeing as there seems to be confusion with the Home Office saying seven, how about a compromise, "seven or eight". :) --Kaushik twin 19:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

With fast breaking news, try to figure not just the timestamps of the news coverage but the timestamp of the goverment announcement that is being treated as the source. Especially with multiple outlets covering the story, they will not all be synchronized - at least some of the non-locals are watching local coverage, or watching someone who is watching local coverage, instead of getting it directly themselves.

[5] claims 8 bombs to have exploded. The death count, which as far as I can tell is the best way to estimate the time of publication of the sources, is 147, which is not too far back. --Railk 21:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think we have contradictory reports on Home Office Statements, the NDTV site says that the Home Office states that there is no link, while I just watched an interview on NDTV, with an official from the Home Ministry who said that the attacks were suspected to be performed by the same group.--Kaushik twin 18:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Is there any confirmation of involvement by Al Qaeda in these attacks? CrazyC83 20:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

As far as I know, there is no confirmation on this yet. --Siva1979Talk to me 20:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Al Qaeda is not even the main suspect. I guess that SIMI[9] would be the primary suspect as Indian police siezed a bunch of weapons from them a few days ago. But it's too early to say.

Death Toll

I changed the death toll range from 147-174 to 160-174, because it is safe to state at this point that the death toll is no lower than 160 and no higher than 174. - Little Spike

Trivia

edit

Why is...

The act of terrorism took place on the 11th day of the month, the same day of the month as the March 2004 Madrid train bombings in Spain and the September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, while July 2005 London bombings took place on the 7th day of the month.

Kamikaze or not?

edit

The article does not say if it was suicide bombings or timed explosive devices? If islamists did it, it was possibly suicide bombing. But 2004 Madrid was timed bombings and that was done by islamists?

The Tamil Tigers/Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam has been one of the most successful exponents who honed suicide attacks into an art so to speak. I haven't heard any suggestion that they could be involved and I'm skeptical they would dare care out an attack of this magnitude and kind in India. Nevertheless, I think it's wise to point out that it could easily have been a suicide bombing if it were someone other then Islamists. In any case as far as I know, no one is particularly clear how the attack was carried out. I don't know if you paid much attentiong during the London bombings but I paid some attention at it was quite clear at the time there was a lot of confusion about how the attacks were carried out before it finally became clear quite a while later (can't remember the precise time period). And the investigators there had the advantage of an extensive CCTV network which I suspect is not so extensive in Mumbai. Nil Einne 16:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Some suggestions

edit

Strike-throughs and comments in brackets added a day later by Carcharoth 09:06, 13 July 2006 (UTC) Reply

I've read the article, and some bits are still contradictory or unclear:

1) Number of bombs.

  • The lead section says eight bombs plus one defused. (NOW CORRECTED)
  • The "details" section lists seven stations, of which one had two bombs. The defused bomb should also be mentioned in this section. (NOT YET CORRECTED - stills says two blasts at Borivali, rather than one blast and one defused bomb)
  • The injuries and fatalities table lists only six stations. The Bhayandar location is not included in the table. (NOT YET CORRECTED - the "details" list, the casualties table, and the image are still giving different names for the locations - see comments here)

2) Repetition

  • The bit about cities beng placed on high alert is repeated twice (REPETITION STILL THERE)
  • The bit about rail services resuming is mentioned at least three times (REPETITION STILL THERE)

3) Times and dates lacking (IMPROVED - some bits still need dates)

  • Quote: "Rail services have now been restored. As a show of investor confidence the Mumbai Stock Exchange has rebounded. It has started the day with the BSE SENSEX Index up by nearly 1% in morning trade. In a show of resilience, foreign investors have chosen not to panic; the Sensex was up almost 3% at 10,930.09 at the end of the day's trade." - Which day is this? When is "now" when the train services were restored? (Also, saying that foreign investors "chose" not to panic is not really verifiable.)
  • Quote: Recent reports indicate (as of 18:00 UTC) that the phone networks are restoring service." - which day is this referring to?
  • Quote: "The phone network has been completely restored, through the night." - Which night?
  • Quote: "The New Delhi police in New Delhi's Jungpura area arrested a person" - When did this arrest take place?
  • Quote: "India's major cities were put on high alert after the blasts." - when was this alert issued?
  • Compensation announcements - when were these announcements made? Which day?

4) Clarity (STILL NOT CLEAR. For more geographical context, why not use one of the maps at Mumbai?)

  • Quote: "The bombs were put on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which form the backbone of the city's transportation network." - it is unclear whether the western line is the backbone of the city's transportation network, or whether the suburban train network is the backbone of the city's transportation network. The map of the western line is helpful, but a map of the whole transport system would help put that map in context for the overall city. A map of Mumbai with the locations marked would be great.

Hope all this helps. I'll try and help with the editing later on, but hopefully those editing this article will be able to implement these suggestions more effectively. Finally, my condolences to those affected by this awful tragedy. Carcharoth 11:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Locations confusion

edit

There seems to be some confusion over the locations. I suspect this is similar to what was seen in the aftermath of the London bombings, where both the departure and arrival station of trains midway between stations were reported as the location.

I have found several lists of locations:

  • [11] says "Matunga, Khar, Santacruz, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Bhayendar".
  • [12] says "Matunga, Khar, Mahim, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Bhayandar"
  • [13] says "Matunga, Bandra, Khar, Mahim, Jogeshwari, Borivili and Mira Road".

Several reports also say that most of the blasts took place on moving trains (presumably between stations), with some at stations.

Looking at the map of the Western Line (here) , it can be seen that the pairs of stations that are being reported are: Bhayander-Mira Road; Santacruz-Khar Road; and the three stations in a row: Bhandra, Mahim Junction, Matunga Road.

When all the confusion is sorted out, what is needed is the precise locations (and which stations the trains were travelling between), the order of these stations on the Western Line, and the order in which the bombs went off. Hopefully that information will be forthcoming in the next few days, but until that happens, please bear in mind the potential confusion that can be caused by referring to old news reports from the immediate aftermath - these reports may later be shown to be incorrect. Carcharoth 12:01, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

PS. And the image will need to be updated as the precise bombing locations are reported. Currently, the image marks the stations, rather than the location of the bombings (which was mostly between stations), and even the stations marked are now mostly incorrect and conflicting with the article and other sources.

Why did the phone network go down exactly

edit

I can't seem to find an exact explanation--GregLoutsenko 13:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Because it's off-topic for this article. Look elsewhere: like any system, when demand exceeds capacity, it starts to thrash, if not outright crash. mdf 14:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Actually I think you're missing the point. Or perhaps Greg wasn't making this point but there is a valid point here. What the article currently says is:
Due to the mobile phone networks being jammed, news channels such as NDTV ran tickertapes with information of injured individuals as well as SMS messages from those who wish to contact their families. [19]
Reports indicated that at around 18:00 UTC on 11 July (midnight in Mumbai), the phone networks were restoring service. The phone network was completely restored during the night.
This is not particularly clear. I assumed at first that phone networks were jammed by the number of people trying to use the phone networks, as is usually the case in emergencies such as this. However then it goes on to report that the networks were restoring service. This suggests that the networks actually had to do something to restore service. There are 4 possibilities here.
One is that the phone networks got so overloaded that some actually crashed rather then being simply jammed/unusable due to the number of people attempting to use them. If this were the case, then the article needs to be clearer that there were in fact many crashes in the network rather then the networks simply being jammed. But another possibility is that the networks didn't actually crash but the phone companies actively managed traffic during the emergency and had a list of essential numbers belonging to the emergencies services etc who were allowed to use the network and numbers perhaps which could be called but any calls between 2 non emergency numbers were not-routed or put in a very low priority que and therefore when it talks about restoring service it means they stopped this active management. I've never heard of such an active management before and it sounds rather difficult to implement but I guess it would technically be possible. The third possibility is that the phone networks were purposely jammed by the police/whoever in case phones were being used to set of bombs. This seems a bit strange since one would assume there would be an agreement between the government and networks to take off service rather then jamming being required. On the other hand perhaps broad spectrum jamming was being carried out in case bombs were remotely detonated but via some other means other then using the GSM mobile phone network.
Alternatively, perhaps the article is just poorly written and in fact the companies weren't restoring service rather service was coming back online as the number of people trying to use the networks reduced. Or perhaps it's not particularly clear whether there were actually crashes. I'm not saying we necessarily need to go into the detail or have to say whether there were crashes in the network or not but we need to make the article clear so it doesn't suggest the phone companies were restoring service when we haven't actually discussed whether there was any necessity for the phone companies to restore service. Or put it another way, my point is that the article is confusing at the current time and should either re-worded it or go in to more detail about precisely what happened to the mobile networks.

World War III??

edit

Tensions between India and Pakistan are growing. There might even be a war! North Korea in the far east seems to be a threat that Japan and South Korea would want to take care. Let's not forget about the situation with Persia (Iran) and the United States. There is still an insurgency problem in Iraq. Oh and I almost forgot, THERE IS ALREADY WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND LEBANON! Terrorist groups like Hezballah seem to make things even worse.

Are we headed toward WW3? Zachorious 04:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well the European nations had their time for global-scale warfare... maybe some countries just feel left out :) Seriously though, the counter-measures set up after WWII (i.e. the UN) are failing, if not have already failed. There is nothing to really prevent a World-wide war, everything is setup for one - including large powerblocks formed by alliances such as China/North Korea, The US coalition, and Arabic Nations.

With World powers saying things like "The Geneva convention is outdated" we can expect any global war to result in millions if not Billions of civilian casualties.

Yup... fun times ahead... (Stock up on canned food whule you still can!) Maybe the 2012 nutters (http://www.diagnosis2012.co.uk/1.htm) have a point :D

Yes its an interesting idea, after Sep. 11 people were saying WWIII, but to tell the truth, everyone was on the US's side apart from some Middle Eastern nations. But now that the US is having trouble with insurgency in Iraq and can't allow itself to make a huge troop commitment in North Korea or Iran, the world's superpower will not have a dominant role in the world order. The emerging superpowers, India and China can definitely play a part though. I wouldn't say India and Pakistan are on the brink of war like 1999 and 2001 though. Nobleeagle (Talk) 04:32, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
World War III has already happened, according to some historians, who count the "Third World wars by proxies" during the Cold War as an example of a global conflict after World War II.

Is It Eight Explosions?

edit

Six days after the fact, it looks like the number of explosions still is not settled.

I find the July 16 item especially interesting because it's so recent. So is it truly seven? Or eight? -- joturner 04:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The timeline item on the CNN site says seven explosions. I'd blame dodgy journalism rather than things still being uncertain. What we need is someone who can read the local websites and papers - they may be more helpful. Are there wikis for the Indian languages? Those might help as well. For example, this appears to be the Hindi article on the bombings, and what looks like a table has seven red-linked entries and one not. So that could be seven or eight. But I can't read Sanskrit(?) unfortunately. Carcharoth 23:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Also, having taken a closer look, the references in that Hindu wiki artilce are to western news sources! Carcharoth 23:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Looking at The Hindu, India's national paper, I found these articles that have further details that could be integrated into the article:

That last one in particular has: "The blasts began shortly after 6.20 p.m. when a First Class compartment in a Western Railway suburban train running from Churchgate to Borivali exploded between Khar and Santa Cruz stations. In the next 15 minutes, blasts were reported from near Matunga Road station, Mahim, Bandra, Borivali, Jogeshwari and Mira Road."

And: "Ravindra Dalvi, a guard at Mahim station told The Hindu that he heard a loud explosion at 6.23 p.m. as the train heading towards Borivali stopped at Platform 3.

And: "Usha Nair got into the 5.57 p.m. Virar fast train with her friends at Churchgate . She says that as the train moved towards Matunga after the Dadar stop [...] The train came to an abrupt halt shortly thereafter and when they got down on the tracks between Matunga and Mahim stations, they saw that the First Class compartment had been completely blown up."

I'm going to try and expand the article with this sort of information. Eyewitness reports are often good for this sort of detail. Carcharoth 23:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

May I ask why you have removed every single authentic and very well cited edits? Every single edit I did was cited, supported, and consistent with the reports of the highly reputable and the largest Indian newspapers (among others, the Times of India and the Hindu) and BBC. You can click on every single link to verify that my edits were consistent with the historical news reports. My edits are necessary because they play a vital role in balancing, otherwise highly inaccurate, distorted and biased views.

I would also like to know the exact words that might have violated your policies, so I can use the vocabulary consistent with your policies.

11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings2006 Mumbai train bombings – I can't see the reason for this long name; there's no need to dab this. 2006 Mumbai train bombings already redirects here. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 10:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Until that gets changed, it cannot be mentioned here as a reason. Secret of success (talk) 06:58, 2 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
I said that just to prevent one more move and then clean the redirects and all that work. If at all the decision on this particular move gets delayed for some reason (frankly i cant imagine which), the move can wait for the total discussion. I will raise it soon at WP:INB. -§§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 07:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on 2006 Mumbai train bombings. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

 Y An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
  • If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

WHY RAM SETU IS CALLED ADAM'S BRIDGE?

edit

Hi Team,

You are hurting sentiments of hindu religion.

RAM SETU is not called ADAM Bridge. I will sue you in indian court if correction is not done.
