Mumbai Mayhem.
Rains paralysed Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital, turning it into a virtual sea on Wednesday, trapping thousands in homes and offices, in stationary cars, buses, trains, railway stations and airports.
More than 100 people across Maharashtra lost their lives in the partly natural, partly man-made disaster, as Mumbai underwent a torture unprecedented even by the standards of a city whose streets routinely get flooded every monsoon. Large numbers were trapped or killed in mudslides. Some were reportedly electrocuted while walking through flooded streets where overhead power lines had collapsed.
Ladies and Gentleman - Let us observe a minute's silence for all those people who could not cope with the magnitude of the crisis and have lost their lives.
