Private Security Team Saves 120 Guests at Taj Hotel
A South African private security team in India on business were in the wrong place at the right time. Can’t vouch for all the details but the story has been covered in MSM.
The story, from a South African news portal, says that the security team was on the 25th floor of the hotel when they heard gunshots. They moved the other guests into the kitchen, barricaded themselves in, and armed themselves with what they could: knives and meat cleavers. When they knew the fires were spreading, they decided to make a move. Faisul Nagel, one of the team, contacted the security manager of the hotel to warn the police of their plan. They moved everyone down a fire exit on the back of the hotel, 25 flights, including a 90-year old grandmother who had to be carried the whole way on a chair.
