Hostage rescue: how would you do it?

[Stoic raptor]

I would just use my super kung fu moves and kick ass Bruce Lee style

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

step 1- stop time (or at least slow it down enough that there's no appreciable difference)
step 2- slap the hostage takers
step 3- restart time
step 4- laugh as the hostage taker's heads explode from being hit at nearly the speed of light

Have you ever laughed so hard you started coughing?
And wouldn't the hostage taker's head just become a red smear on the wall, instead of explode?
ENIWAY
I would use my bag-o-infinity to create microscopic bears with chainsaws, and tell them to acumulate in their brains until I tell them to attack, at which point the hostage taker's brains would turn into a fine pink mist that would jet out their ears.
I would invoke friendly graboids. (obscure movie reference FTW)
I would make no friendly fire a law of nature, and destroy the house with the BFG 9000/insert badass weapon here

Just make sure that they don't turn into shriekers, those things are too stupid to form allegiances.

 

[Tears of Blood]

Trained sniper. Always. Failing that, I'd hire some Solid Snake type of person.

 

[aarontg]

Plant a charge on the door and burst in slow mow MW2 style!

 

[kahlzun]

Shoot the hostage.

 

[ottenni]

Offer them a pool filled with jelly. Who could resist?

 

[GrimTuesday]

I would do it Russian style. wait three days then storm the bulding and in the process leave a third of the hostages dead. gotta love the russians tryin to tke all our bodily fluids and see the big board all the time.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Commandos, flat out.

 

[Plurralbles]

how about a bullet that travels through walls and technology that locks onto the captors and can hit them from multiple angles? Done.


I don't see how, with infinite resources, or even just technology of today perfected for tomorrow, it would not be hooker-easy to save a hostage.

 

[GeneralGrant]

I would call an actual hostage negotiation team to do it.

 

[Canid117]

Gas the house with knockout gas then waltz in and take the hostages out

I hear thats the Russian way to rescue hostages

 

[ClaptonKnophlerHendrix]

Unleash an army of bears riding sharks at the hostage takers. The hostages would most likely die too but it would be worth it for the pictures.

 

[JupiterBase]

Ide train in GUN-Fu like Christian Bale did in Equilibrium.

Otherwise?Well...

A nuke. What? It's tactical!

"Nuke the place from orbit, its the only way to be sure."

My motto for solving all of lifes lil problems...

 

[Jark212]

Tell them I'll give them $1,000,000 each if they leave...

 

[T3h Merc]

Bring in a The Serenity and her crew. They can do ANYTHING.

 

[Tdc2182]

I would shoot the terrorist.



Then go and find the hostage takers.

See what I did there?
