Friday, 12th March 1993. Everyone in Bombay has a story for that day. Mine - A piece of paper stuck on a local train which simply read "Blood needed, please come to King George's Hospital."
Sunday, 12th March 2006. Cursory references in today's edition of TOI and HT. And that too courtesy of a bomb, which was defused yesterday at Chowpatty beach.
For the record, here are some details from S. Hussain Zaidi's authoritative and hard-hitting book "Black Friday. The True Story of the Bombay Blasts".
Blast 1 - 1.28pm - The Bombay Stock Exchange. 84 dead, 217 injured.
Blast 2 - 2.15pm - Narsi Natha Street. 5 dead, 16 injured.

Blast 6 - 3.05pm - Zaveri Bazaar. 17 dead, 57 injured.
Blast 7 - 3.13pm - Plaza Cinema, Dadar. 10 dead, 37 injured.

"Subsequent police investigations revealed that 257 people were either killed or went missing in the blasts while 713 were injured."
Dawood Ibrahim, the main accused, is still at large.

The blast are from the past.... can we start talking about how to secure the future...
i have recently read back friday and thought that dawood and tiger should be brought to india and shoukd be given death sentence. how can they be so cruel. god has forgotten to give a heart to them
a tribute to those kill in blast,it really upset me.
people readed Black Friday but any one had readed SRIKRISHNA COMMISSION REPORT of Mumbai riots
how can you guys have the nerve to blame one person for such an incident. this is something (wanna-be) secular india brought onto itself. if you step on the dogs tail and not expect it to bite, you must be the biggest moron alive. its a tit for tat world this.
People who accusssed are really suffering becuase . it all happen due to a bad event happen in India Demolition of Babri masjid .
How can Indian court can take oneside decision. Result for verdict has taken almost 2 decades they already suffered a lot
After taking interest in it , my life is in danger. I feel it is better to commit suicide. Police, Public n administration has no help only further humiliation
Anyway happy Diwali to u all
blasts or any terrorism like dis changes lives of the family members of the ones who r dead n gone.....is religion above innocent human lives? god did not create religion. humans did.....the guilty must b hanged for killing, for injuring, for leaving scars on the minds of innocents people who r alive, n for spoiling the lives of d family members too.....its time d govts all over thought abt it n hanged d guilty for an inhuman heinous crime like this. still wtg for justice.......killing innocents is not d answer...if fanatics need to kill, let them kill the other fanatics only...why the rest?
really apreciated all the comments from below people but just advise me our comments on sri krishna comission report what about the people who demoslish babri masjid what people who killed muslim in 1992/93 mumbai riots just put the light on that and come back to us with our comments
It is righty said Indian law is Blind.
Many of my freinds has wrote it was wrong, but why Babari Masjid was demolished and why indian Police and Law cant take action against them. In this case same Indian Muslim are targeted.
The people who has demolish Babri Masjid are going free and also people who were involve in Mumbai riots.
Can some one explain me this in right way if i am wrong
