the crowd waiting for the Explosion


He did get angry shucking loads out of the Window.



Brief Video report on here
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-hostages.html

"The man apparently stormed into the logistics office yelling: ‘I have nothing more to live for.’
Stephen Hull is executive editor of the Huffington Post UK website, which is in the same building, although unconnected to the attack, which is though to involve a logistics business.
He posted on Twitter: 'Just interviewed woman who was target of attack. Man came into logistics office strapped up with 4 canisters threatening to blow himself up."

Jesus. Imagine if everyone was this mentally unstable? We would have self destructed by now.

He might think he has nothing left to live for but other people do.

Possibly more that a gas canister? They have said he could have access to more dangerous material.

There may be a little more to this story than just he was turned down for his HGV licence.

I don't think most people would doubt that but he is putting others at risk of danger and the situation needs to be dealt with as swiftly as possible.

Maybe
but for a 49 year old man his HGV Driving test
means so much to him.

Nope, it doesnt, no one really knows what he has with him, he may have gas explosives firearms etc. He may just have things built to represent them and "just wants to be heard", society seems to instill in people the sense they need to be heard and not just accept life and its setbacks.

Either way the best way to deal with the situation is to put in place measures to prevent it from worsening and ideally let him calm down and realise the stupidity of his actions, while at the same time have the capability to take him out while minimising collateral damage should things turn pear shaped.

I understand that the situation needs to be diffused, and they need to calm him down, as he seems to be very angry, and try to get him to think rationally. That's what the negotiators will be trying to do I imagine first. They will want to deal with it as quickly as they can though. Why wouldn't they? Especially as they are aware that he has materials of some kind that could be used to harm himself and others?

The longer it goes on the more likely there will be a successful peaceful resolution.

There are snipers ready to shoot, however what will be happening on the ground will be a scenario similar to this, a couple of assault teams from SO19/CO19(Specialist Tactical Firearms teams) will be ready to assault on a quick or contingency assault plan. Away from the incident area there will be more teams assessing the situation and making better more in depth plans to assault.

Once the indepth assault plan has been approved and practiced those teams will move in and take over from the initially deployed assault teams. After they have been rested they will go through the same plans. Adapting them and then they will merge into the assault team shifts.

The longer it goes on the more information is gained about the target and the building, the greater the chances for a successful assault if it comes down to it.
