This is a documentary that is uniquely shown to us by real life camera footage recorded at the time of the incident, in August 1988. Being over 30 years ago, the majority of people watching this will find it extremely hard to relate as to how something like this was allowed to happen. If it was these days things would've gone very differently, but at the time (more so specifically this incident), the Police and SWAT didn't really seem to have much of a clue. Shocking and well put together, definitely worth the watch!
They did this because they saw a crime show on tv and wanted to do it. Bizarre. If our demands are not meet. Bang Bang. Here again in this show it wasn't the guns it was the mental health of the hostage takers and watching crimes shows on tv. Mimicking the shows. This show is beyond comprehension. And in 1988.
