A Tribute at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel

Employees and families came together to pay tribute to 31 lives that were lost in a terrorist act one year ago. A permanent memorial was unveiled at the hotel to remember and pay homage to those who lost their lives. Mr. Ratan N Tata - Chairman, Indian Hotels Company Ltd. said, "I consider this a great privilege to be here today as we recognize, pay tribute and memorialize to those we lost both at the hotel and in the city. We made a commitment to rebuild this building brick by brick and stone by stone and this commitment still stands. They tried to knock us down but they could not kill us. The attack did not scare us but it made us stronger. We have risen again stronger with greater spirit" The hotel plans to reopen in following months.

I feel really unaware of the world. I either didn’t remember or realize what happened at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel a year ago. If I understand
correctly a terrorist act occurred which I assume was a bombing because they mentioned reconstructing the building. For those like me who have not been paying attention to events in the world as well as they should, I think stories like this should give a small background of what happened to cause the memorial.
