I don't mean to be critical, but am I the only one that notices the Mumbai bombing is no longer on the homepage of CNN? I remembered that the news dominated all major news outlets for quite a few days after Madrid and London bombing.

That's how the news work. Once there's a more dramatic and recent event, it becomes top priority, and whatever was in the headlines before, becomes old news even if it isn't. Also, the war Israel's attacks on Lebanon is more importat for the American government than the terrorist attacks in India.

Nope, you are not the only one.
CNN is not my choice for news - I only stumble on there sometimes to catch a glimpse of Anderson Cooper's show.
I prefer BBC news any day.

True. CNN news is very US centric. And tell me about Anderson Cooper ;), though I like Anderson Cooper in the fields better.

At least 7 bombs exploded on trains there yesterday and killed 190 people. She happens to be in New York right now, so is thankfully safe, even though being away is probably very hard at this time too. I just wanted to send out my heartfelt prayers and wishes to Reanna and her loved ones, and to everyone in Mumbai, for healing from the shock and trauma of the attacks, and for safety to return to Mumbai.
With love,
Jenny

I will just echo these sentiments myself. Thanks for posting this Jenny. All good wishes, Reanna.

What Jenny said. Reanna, I hope your family and friends escaped this insanity. Many hugs and healing prayers are going out to you and to your hurting home city. Not only Mumbai needs healing, but the whole world. :'(
