<p>Let's not jump to conclusions:&nbsp; maybe it was the result of a gas leak or a suicide attempt.</p>

[HeyGuy]

No they are saying it is a terrorist attack. What is this world coming to? You cant even ride a train. With crazy people like this out there what are you going to do? It seems like it has only gotten worse since going to war.

[Dirtybird12]

<p>Ive always said trains and subways are fucking deathtraps</p><p>Pakistan hates India</p><p>Osama is in Pakistan.... and in return for hiding him, Osama has ordered the hit on India</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>just my premature thoughts</p>

<p>I'm going to india on Saturday for three weeks.&nbsp; I'm flying in through delhi, and flying out of bombay.&nbsp; And I'm pretty much taking trains from delhi to bombay.&nbsp; I'm not worried at all, because I figure security will be even better now.&nbsp; My mom however, is freaking the fuck out.&nbsp; </p><p>Terrorists are douchebags btw...</p>

These fucking spineless supreme court judges and hack politicians BOTH DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN want to give these subhumans who plan, finance and carry out these atrocities rights under the Geneva Convention?&nbsp; Give me a fucking break. How are we supposed to win this so called war on terrorism

<p>It's depressing that most of those posting seriously about this think this attack has anything to do with the US. Islamist extremists have been conducting terrorist attacks on India for decades over the disputed territories of Jammu and Kashmir for decades. India and Pakistan have gone to war twice over Kashmir.
