Hostage situation in moscow ended

Recommended Posts

I'd like to see this article, placebo.

I love it when people say things like this: "You know, those people did this this and that, see how bad they are? I think we should all flame this country."

We need to give placebo a 24 hr. ban, and then lock this thread. wink.gif

Hang on a moment.

From the article that Placebo mentioned:

But another BBC correspondent in the Russian capital, Jonathan Charles, reports that doctors have not been told what kind of knock-out gas was used and so do not know what antidotes to administer to patients

it's just too bad that the russians don't try the US policy from after ww2.

the allies utterly, totally destroyed german and japanese warmaking capabilities. but then they turned right around and helped those nations with lots of goodwill and money.

they proved that allied warmaking, or the hatred war brings on, was not done from the heart. those nations are now (fairly) stable allies.<span id='postcolor'>

Im sorry to go more offtopic, but I cant leave this comment out here (and this is not US bashing).

*oh wait, when I read your post again I bacam unsure of what you meant by "from the heart"*

Anyways this kind of includes also the solution of global terrorism. USA (and the western world in general, but USA is kind of the 'western führer' ) is, for right or wrong, blamed for much internationally. By making up with the rest of the world from the heart (like the pre coldwar USA was good at I recon), the terror threat will be gone in time. Its a process that will take decades, but in differance of war it has creative potential.

I hope this was not too offtopic, or a flamebait; so that it wont ruin this thread.. peace smile.gif

Edit: added western world in general ofcourse

Wish I could find more news on the subject ,all the news here seems trained on the plane crash that killed a liberal.

But I'm glad it's over, my thoughts our for the victims of this tragedy. The brave men of Alpha and other russian police forces at the scene should be awarded their countries highest medal.

I originally thought when those apartment complexes of poor people were bombed awhile back it smelled rather fishy. I

thought why target poor people to get your point across? But with the latest event I totally believe russia's enemy(not using the C word) to be evil incarnate.

The information is from Ceefax, this is a text service we get with our TV's so I doubt anyone outside England has access.

Anyways it's page 106 of BBC's Ceefax, anyone else in the UK can confirm, I'll type out the item in its entirety.......

About 350 survivors of the Moscow siege are in hospital, many being treated for Gas poisoning, officials have said.

A doctor at Moscow's Sklifosovsky Hospital said 42 people had been admitted with poisoning from an unknown gas. "Their condition is poor", he said

The gas had not killed any of the hostages, officials stressed.

Doctors have expressed their outrage at the refusal of the Russian authorities to reveal what gas was used.

Ran- pravda says that the terrorists had 30 to 50 kg of tnt. The gas was a good idea, what else should they have used?

I'm still weary of what Pravda says. Traditionally, Pravda=ne Pravda. However, I think using that gas is the only thing that stopped the terrorists from setting off the bombs. I do find it outragous though, that the authorities aren't saying what type of gas it was. I don't believe that it was nerve gas however, or anything meant to be lethal. What would be the point of the rescue operation?

"Trouble with hearth"... as caused by a knock-out gas? Why do you (Exodist) think anestetics are adminstered by special trained medics in hospitals? Why do you think a complete anestetic (meaning non-local, as in a complete knock-out) is still considered a health risk, even if supervised and admistered by such a trained specialist?

Knock-out gas - especially if used in high concentrations as needed to fill a wide open space as a theatre auditorium with a sufficiant concentration for everyone - can easily cause your heart or breathing to stop. If you don't know what agent was used, then it is very hard (and depending on what was actually used, it may well be impossible) to treat the victims of this gas.

Believe it or not, but we also get it in Wales!

On the gas front, the Russians have always had advanced gas/chemical weapon design. If they are refusing to give details on the gas, it's probably some exotic blend not used before, which they would like to keep quiet.

This is right! On the news earlier today (NRK 1) a doctor said almost exactly the same. He also said that when people lose consciousness it's very important to make sure the person can breathe properly. If people pass out with their head resting on their chest for example they are bound to choke and die.

But ensuring people are laid down on the ground sideways (see link) with their head resting on their arm is of course impossible while you are spraying bullets all over the place.

By the way, about ceefax - could it be what we in Norway call Text TV (news, TV programme, adds etc) because with a push on a button on my remote control I can find out whats on BBC World/Prime and so on.

It's no coincidence that anesthesiologists have the highest malpractice insurance premiums of any medical profession -- higher than heart surgeons, higher than orthopeadic surgeons, and higher than cosmetic surgeons.

Well, as far as I know all hostages were in very bad condition before assault begun due to lack of food, water, and sleep. The gas probably doesn't help them in their recovery now, but at least they still have a chance.

As for 'Teletext', I do believe its available over most of Europe.

I know they don't have it in the US, as I only got confused replies when I asked the hotel if they had a TV with Teletext.
