Here is the currently situation. The hostages are currently in the Discovery Channel HQ in Silverspring Maryland which isn't to far from where I am at. They keep having news breaks. Last one stated that the suspect is an asain male and has an explosive device. The seriousness aside, if its Grant from Myth Busters I'll shit my self.

I just hope nobody holds Sesame Street hostage in an attempt to get them to show a more realistic depiction of inner city life
