On closer inspection it was quite an interesting article, given my own experience of "hijacking". It appeared that it was rather more of a hostage situation and not a "hijacking" as we know it in SA. Another interesting thing was the positioning of the negotiator on the left (in black gloves), clearly relaxed and pointing out the errors of the young man's ways and with a mere finger pointed at him and not a gun! In another picture the victim was even showed making phone calls with the knife against her throat.
A police negotiator (L) talks with a hijacker, surnamed Zhang, as he holds a woman hostage in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong province, Tuesday April 21, 2009. Zhang demanded 20,000 yuan ($2,940) in ransom to allegedly pay for his mother's surgery bill. After a 90-minute roadside standoff, police overwhelmed Zhang. The hostage, surnamed Kuang, was unharmed. Further investigation is underway.
