Hong Kong hostages killed in Manila bus siege

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (23 August 2010)–Philippine police have stormed a hijacked bus and shot dead a former police officer who had taken a group of Hong Kong tourists hostage. Eight of the hostages were killed in the bloody siege, which ended with several survivors crawling from the bus while emergency crews removed bodies. A former policeman armed with an assault rifle had seized the bus in an apparent attempt to get his job back. Hong Kong’s government has criticised the handling of the siege. In all, 22 Hong Kong tourists were taken hostage along with three Filipinos – a driver, a guide and a photographer. Chinese officials said all eight of the dead were from Hong Kong. One of the survivors, who identified herself only as Mrs Leung, told reporters that her husband had been killed trying to stop the gunman from shooting other passengers. “I miss him. I actually really wanted to die with him. But I think of my children,” she said, according to AFP news agency. She was critical of the way police handled the situation, saying: “Why was there no-one to help us after so many hours?” Hong Kong’s leader Donald Tsang also criticised the way the siege was dealt with. “The way it was handled, particularly the outcome, I find is disappointing,” he said. Police Colonel Nelson Yabut told reporters that the gunman, identified as 55-year-old Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza, was killed after he decided to enter a shoot-out with police marksmen. “On our first assault, Captain Mendoza was sprawled in the middle of the aisle

  12. come on man… its only 1 fucking dude with a 1 freaking M16 in a goddamn bus.. come on now.. im pretty sure 2 guys would be able to take psycho down..

  13. @idiotmamatia Filipinos are in deep shit. Chinese poison the children of the world with Melamine, and burn the children in Australia with their cheap children clothes, serve the tourist with their spit on the food and Chinese restaurants in UK and Europe fail in hygiene inspections …yeah, let patronize that..

  14. Blame the japanese back then in world war 2 they stole all the riches from the philippines that’s we can’t buy hi-tech stuff

  15. What a tragedy. The police were brave but who ever trained them should be jailed. Morale would be through the floor. There must be serious problems in the force.

  16. did not place, did not place did not place. did not place, did not place, did not place, did not place, did not place did not place, did not place etc etc ups sorry

  17. nag enjoy ako sa panonood coz im one avid fan also of miss universe & this is one refferrences para sa mga fanatics, tanong ko lng po kung ano yung ibinibigay ng candidate bago mag introduce sa national costume, just curious at tama nga they use spanish sa pagpapakilala nila jejeje nakakatuwa , lagi rin pala tyo pasok sa semi finals ha! BRAVO FILIPINAS !!!! sana mag title uli tyo.
    GOODLUCK !!!!

  18. great vid!! its really a great effort collecting all the pix and prec cids to come up with a nice preaentation such as this one.. just a note if you can edit and erase the “( did not place)” comments on each delegate on each year, might as well leave it blank or indicate the ranking, for a possitive impact instead, the phrase “did not place” is kinda inapppropriate and gramatically off sounding.. just a piece of unsolicited advise, as people around the world is watching your vid. lookinf

  19. @bituin India is one of 2 countries to have won the Miss Universe, Miss World & Miss Asia Pacific International crown in the same year. Miss Universe 2000: Lara Dutta; Miss World 2000: Priyanka Chopra; Miss Asia Pacific 2000: Dia Mirza. The other country to also have this achievement is Australia in 1972.

  20. @mynawin india won straight title holder i forgot which year yun bang ms. universe, ms. world and ms. international as in sila lang ang nanalo in same year. i forgot which year.

  21. @marikitna because I think until late 1960’s we are still using Spanish language as part of Philippine language aside from Tagalog. They removed spanish language subject in school during late president corazon aquino’s administration.

  22. at 2:07 she sounds like a flight attendant! lol And why were there a handful of contestants speaking Tagalog like that? nobody understood them lol and one chick randomly speaks Spanish… very well yet RANDOM! hahaha

  23. miss universe title.the philippines got already 2 and a lot of runners -up and finalists as well..thanks for the upload.i’m looking forward for part 2.what about uploading thailand?

  24. philippines ,thailand and japan the strongest contenders in asia.i never heard malaysia,indoesia,vietnam and etc..won the the miss universe..i hope they can make it also this time but i think philippines will win the title for 2010 that’s only my opinion no offense please.

  25. @acerxxxxx > yup , i remember I was then at grade 6 but i used to idolize na ruffa guttierez.apa ompin was the host then eventually they become lovers.
