[QUOTE=TheTalon;46716657]It could last a while, but surely no more than another day or day and a half tops. The guy can't stay awake forever[/QUOTE] I think police are fearing more the fact when he gets tired he'll get more angry and since he's already pissed off about the 5 people leaving and the lights are off, I don't see this ending peacefully
[QUOTE=TheTalon;46716657]It could last a while, but surely no more than another day or day and a half tops. The guy can't stay awake forever[/QUOTE] Well, it IS a coffee shop.
[QUOTE=TheTalon;46716679]After 11 hours, I'm sure it's just one guy[/QUOTE] How are you sure? The police aren't confirming or denying anything, and the only word on the subject has been a report of a guy bumping into the known guy, and also seeing two other guys dressed the same.

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;46716692]Apparently there is a photo of a hostage turning off the lights by hand.[/QUOTE] Yep. Posted it on previous page.

My point was that it's normal for hostage situations to take a very long time to resolve.

So unless there's a second guy posing as a hostage himself, pretty sure something would have come out about a second guy by now

All they would need is a phone or an internet cafe. Hell, they could write on paper and beat the whole system.

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;46716724]Or: There is a back room? [editline]15th December 2014[/editline] Hostage situation developing in Belgium.[/QUOTE] oh fuck, I hope it's just a rumor. Saw the news report this morning, did not even know about the possible presence of explosives
hope these aren't linked

[QUOTE=PieClock;46716673]Yep. Still going on, and police are setting up areas making it look like it'll be going on for another while yet.[/QUOTE] Fuck, hope they all get out safe and that the dude(s) get what he/they deserve. This is just bullshit, is there any reason yet why they/he is doing this? Any official message ? I've read the news posts and such but what is he trying to reach with this. I hope he falls asleep and gets shot in the head
[QUOTE=Noth;46716735]I gotta say, Telstra is getting some mad advertising with all of this[/QUOTE] Funnily enough [url=https://www.facebook.com/burgerbrosydney]Burger Bro?[/url] has been getting some positive advertising and encouragement.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46716737]I was going to say Lindt but[/QUOTE] They're getting the bad side of it, but in almost every photo, that bloody Telstra phone booth is visible

Seems like a hostage situation to me though. I'll see if I can gather more info, also an intervention team is present: [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B44oBz7CQAAcJIJ.jpg[/img]

CNN talked to the radio host who talked to one of the hostages several times. He says the 5 hostages escaped and were not released, and the gunman is a lunatic, making outrageous claims and wanted the police to admit that it was a terrorist operation on behalf of ISIL
