More than 900 injured and 80 dead in terrorist attacks in the Indian financial capital in Mumbai, including India’s top anti-terror official. It appears they are/were targeting British and American citizens., many of who are in town for EU-India talks. After learning of the news, I found my way to this thread on Twitter: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23mumbai
There you can follow second-by-second accounts by people who are there. One man has posted 600+ photos already of the disturbance.
Twitter may be in its infancy but its immediacy and ability to keep people up to date – despite the chance for misinformation – is impressive and perhaps something to consider for your organization’s crisis communications plan.
Hope the situation resolves itself soon and my thoughts go out to those involved.
