    Link for those interested, shows a live stream.

    Not much of a report, so no point in posting the literature.



    Thoughts?


    Wonder will they make a documentary of it...:pac:

    The hostage taker mustn't like myths relentlessly being busted.

    Probably a crazed fishing fan demanding another series of 'deadliest catch'.

    "UPDATE: There are reports the gunman has some sort of tank-like device strapped to his body and possibly has at least one hostage."

    It's Megatron!!!!

    "James J. Lee. Protested the Discovery Channel."

    I guess someone's annoyed that the Mythbusters wouldn't run that myth about Stockholm syndrome....

    Not interesting. If it was Fox HQ I'd be interested. In fact I'd be cheering the bomber on.

    All they have to do is send in Bear Gryls anyway.

    Anyone watching the CNN feed? They're evacuating the creche and wheeling cots across the road. Would it not be easier to just pick the babies up? Esp. if the gunman has explosives.

    A man wielding a gun and possibly carrying an explosive device is holed up at the Discovery Channel
    Lee also lashes out about Discovery Channel programs promoting war and technology.

    Think this guy was watching too many war and technology shows on discovery. :confused:

    It is Bear Grylls. They won't pay the room service bill from his last series.

    'James Jay Lee'. Typical. Anyone with a first name as a surname is always nuts.

    Fox News is showing random images of the building took by an eyewitness which actually shows nothing at all

    One rumour is that the hostage taker is an eco terrorist who created this site:

    Cached as site is down

    Edit: The site is signed off by someone called Lee, News just named the hostage taker as James J Lee...this could be the guy

    I think the Fox News anchorman is making light of the situation, adding in jokes about his beeper and crazy protestors, if this goes downhill it will not look good on him.
