NEWS: Tourist Bus held hostage at Luneta (Aug 23 2010)

[compact]

Pagkatapos ng bursts of shots maririnig sa live telecast mga pulis/media/civilian nagtatawanan at nagbibiruan kung buhay pa sila.

Pati sa ospital, walang patawad yung media. Yung mga biktima sinundan hangang sa operating theater...

Another one of the PNP's high tech gadgetry for the world to see...

Kinda hard to turn around and do a head count when bullets are flying in your direction. Maybe he should have popped his head over the top of his seat to ask the hostage taker before he jumped out the window? "Excuse me... stop shooting for a minute... I've got to count survivors."

exactly, the same way that it's hard to say that all hostages are dead when he didn't actually see it since he immediately jumped off the window.

nakakatatawa yung nabitawan yung maso and pagbato ng flashbang or tear gas sa rear door tumalbog at bumalik sa swat na nagbato.

napaka obvious na wala silang training for handling these types of incidents

kaya dati ko pa sinasabi --

if there's a sure bet, it's betting pinoys will always screw up

congrats Philippines

bakit kaya nagkaganyan ang media dito sa'tin. wala ng respect for life and privacy. and to think a lot of people view them as heroes

and the hostage taker, siguro at first, the policemen were hesitant to kill one of their own. the guy snapped, it could happen to any of them that's why umabot ng gabi sa negotiations, they're still hoping for a peaceful dialogue.

the use of the maso although it looks stupid in front of TV, was actually a very good tactic. i saw two video clips using it to smash both the door and the rear window simultaneously. psych warfare ang pinairal ng pulis. i highly doubt the police will enter thru those entrances. why? those are the obvious assault points. eh pulis din kaya yun kalaban nila

what it did was to push the hostage taker to panic and shot thru the covered windows, and thereby opening a window for snipers.

Pwede bang sakay din sa bus ang nag cover na media at ratratin din. L*ngy* pati sniper di pinatawad pinasamahan pa ng cameraman!

At sangkatutak ang commercial ng GMA, talagang sinulit. Mga p*ta kayong taga media kayo. Dapat naka news blackout yan!!!! Di yung kita tayo ng buong mundo!

Hope walang discrimination sa mga pinoys na pupunta sa Hong Kong.
