Today marks the 17th anniversary of the Mumbai Train Bombings, also known as the 7/11 attacks, which occurred on July 11, 2006. Seven bomb blasts took place on the Mumbai Suburban Railway's Western Line, killing around 200 people and injuring many more. The explosions were carried out using pressure cookers filled with a combination of RDX and ammonium nitrate. A memorial service was held a week after the incident, with sirens ringing out across Mumbai and a two-minute silence led by then-President Abdul Kalam to honor the victims.
