The former Tata group chairman sent out a heartfelt message on the eleventh anniversary of the 26/11 attacks.
Mumbai: In what can be named as one of India's most shocking terror attacks that happened on the 26th of November in 2008. Indians saw rescue operations and heartening stories of all the victims of the attack, Eleven years later, the nation still remembers the terrifying times the city of Mumbai saw on the fateful day.
What was completely unexpected on the day was how a top five-star hotel - The Taj Mahal Palace was hijacked and guests at the hotel were held hostage by a vicious group of terrorists. The loyal hotel staff and the guests saw loss of life on the fateful day. Eleven years later, they may have recovered, but the wounds remain.
Speaking about the tragic day, Tata group's former chairman Ratan Tata took to his social media and wrote a spirited post about the day. The post read:
"11 years later, a lot has been said about the tragedy that commenced on 26/11/2008. The memory of standing outside helpless and of the carnage and loss of life, are still fresh and painful. We will not forget the scars and the needless suffering caused at the hospital, the railway station, the hotels and across the city. But most importantly, we remain proud of the spirit and the sense of unity displayed by Mumbai in all its power on that day. I will say it again: We can be hurt, but not knocked out."
The Taj Mahal Palace was shut for 21 months after the terror attacks. Staff recall the blood stained floors and walls where they once worked with their colleagues. The group chose August 15 - Independence Day to reopen operations.
The terror attacks that were strategically planned at various points in the city including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Hotel Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Hotel Trident, Nariman House, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital and Wadi Bunder.ended up killing more than 160 innocent lives.
