Abstract
With more and more people coming online, social media is becoming a medium for opinion sharing. On 18 September 2016, security forces were attacked by a group of four terrorists. In this paper, we study sentiments and survival of tweets post-terror attack by extracting tweets from Twitter. Factors like last retweet, number of retweets, number of favorites are used to study information flow of data posted on Twitter. Higher the number of retweets, higher is the reach. The event caused widespread reaction on social media. We discuss our results on sentiments along with the survival of tweets.
