Step 1
Assess the situation first. If you witnessed how a group of armed people took hostages, then no matter how much you would like to be a hero, you should not go hand-to-hand with terrorists, even if you are a master of sports in martial arts. It is better to quietly step back around the corner (stand behind the column, leave the room, if possible) and call the police, the release of the hostages is their responsibility. On the phone, try to describe the situation in as much detail as possible: how many terrorists, what they are armed with, how many people they took hostage, how they dispersed around the room, what demands they are shouting out. The sooner the special services start working on this situation, the more chances of success.
Step 2
After making a call, in no case should you inform the terrorists that you have called the police, and demand that everyone be released, since it will be extremely difficult to predict their actions in such a situation. With your call, you have already provided invaluable assistance in freeing the hostages.
Step 3
If you find yourself among the hostages, do not panic. The captured people are needed by the terrorists alive, since in the event of your death they will have no items for bargaining.
Step 4
Do not ask terrorists a lot of questions about your future fate and do not provoke them. But reasonable requests are worth making. For example, you can ask for water, permission to take the children to the toilet, the necessary medicines if one of the hostages becomes ill. Explain your actions to the invaders. If your legs are numb, it is better to warn immediately that you want to get up to stretch. You can also free some of the hostages - offer to release sick people, children, women, wounded, giving undeniable arguments for the correctness of this action for the invaders.
Step 5
Try to remember all the details of what is happening. What are the terrorists talking about, how many people have you seen. After your release, this information will be useful to the special services investigating this terrorist attack.
Step 6
The most important thing is that if you are taken hostage, do not try to free yourself, because because of your actions, all captured people may suffer. Do not try to "press on pity", threaten, try to knock the weapon out of the hands of the terrorist.
Step 7
If you still dream of freeing a group of hostages on your own, go to work in the internal affairs bodies. After a long training, you can get a position in the special services that are involved in hostage rescue operations.
