Mumbai attacks: a survivor's story

Updated on 01 December 2008

By Krishnan Guru-Murthy

Michael Pollack tells of his 12-hour ordeal in the Taj hotel, the courage of the staff and texting the FBI.

"The story that I really care to let the rest of the world know about is the true selfless nature of the staff who literally gave up their own lives disproportionately to us so that we can live.

"Had everybody acted for themselves we all would have been systematically slaughtered across the board.

"When there's great evil, there's always great goodness and that great goodness really needs to shine through."
