The bizarre tragedy in Mumbai was hardly an isolated incident, according to my sources. (The NY Times.) They've been having their own 9/11's since the early 1990s. The latest 5-day shooting spree & terrorization of innocent citizens is recapped in this Times article. Particularly sad was the young Orthodox Jewish couple who left Brooklyn to help their fellow Lubavitchers in Mumbai.
Their 2-year-old son was saved by his nanny & will be brought home to Brooklyn. They asked me to be the wet nurse but I declined. Remember, only in IB Singer. The very eerie and tragic part of the story is that the Orthodox couple are the parents of not one, but two children with Tay-Sachs.
At the time of her death, the deceased mother was with child.
