I don't want that to sound more heroic than it actually was, but you have to be prepared for that thing not going according to plan. I said a little prayer, held my breath for a minute, then it was go. But one thing on my side though -- I am a ninja! Hahaha... my pumpkins really believed I was. They were still very young then.Don Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315083586998344768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596131824012016471.post-46072151675736235542010-08-26T18:50:19.938+08:002010-08-26T18:50:19.938+08:00at least, in your case, good people did something,...at least, in your case, good people did something, anything. dangerous, crazy, it might have seemed.Yaw Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15022803647109053217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596131824012016471.post-39829387494792149742010-08-26T12:15:52.117+08:002010-08-26T12:15:52.117+08:00I was in a hostage situation once.

I don't usually go to mass -- knew it was a bad idea. (haha). We were at giving the sign of peace when some madman armed with a revolver being chased by the police, hostaged this girl and dragged her behind the altar. Of course first instinct was to get out of the building. Right outside, I started counting heads (of my family). Everyone was accounted for except for an elderly aunt. So before the backup for the police arrived, me and my brother had to go back inside the church where the madman was. There we found other people frozen in fear and unable to escape. The priest was negotiating with hostage taker and offering himself in lieu of the little girl. Me and my brother took this opportunity to lead everyone out (except the little girl and the priest). Once out, we found out that the elderly aunt RAN all the way home (haha!). By this time, backup had arrived, and all of the media and the usual politicos. This incident became a cover of Asiaweek. It was during the time of Ramos.Don Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315083586998344768noreply@blogger.com
