Gunfire and Silence

Gunfire and Silence, Surviving India's 9/11 tells the true story of Douglas O'Keeffe, an airline flight attendant on a routine layover caught up in the harrowing chaos of the November 26 and 27, 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India. "This is an airline layover! I can't believe this is happening!" I thought as I huddled on the floor in the dark. Footsteps echoed outside the room. "We're discovered!" I realized and looked to my right at Colleen beside me. "I'm glad she's behind me," I thought, "When they shoot, my body might save her." Then, arms over my head, I prepared to die.
