Cat tails Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 There has just been a hostage situation in the biggest news studio in the Netherlands. An armed man demanded to be let on television to do a speech. He had taken the security guard as a hostage. He has been arrested and luckily no one got hurt. Very shocking footage has been made of his hostage situation and his arrest. It's our equivalent of BBC1 8 o'clock news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 The guard managed to keep the man calm and had the sense to coach him to a studio that wasn't in use. A cameraman had the guts to turn on the camera on exiting the building. That guard deserves a medal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 A Dutch friend told me as it was being shown on their news - we had it on our news soon after. Well I guess being actually in the newsroom it was really breaking news as it happened! Evacuate and keep the cameras rolling!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
