In my opinion, first you to do is PRAY to God to guide you and help you to be safe in such situation. Then, TRY TO CALM DOWN and OBSERVE what is happening. For natural calamities, there is so many things you can do depending on the situation such earthquake and flood. Different calamities have different intervention you can do. the very important thing you have to do is to prepared and know/search in the internet or books what to do in such calamity for you to be familiarized and prepared .

We cannot predict how we will react during times like this but as we are thinking now, I think it is best to remain calm and try to access the situation to see if there's a better way out. I admire the passenger who managed to save the kid who is not her own, that was really wisdom at work there.

Well , i think for me is to repent for what you have done wrong, or pray that you be able to pass this situation, because this situation is not in your hand to control , so i think just relaxed and wait for your fate, in my opinion all these things that happened has a purpose, whatever it is we should try to know, or leave it to God,

It's such a sad event. I was really disappointed, ashamed, mad and frustrated by how the policemen handled the whole hostage situation. No life could have been taken if they negotiated well with the hostage taker. It was operation failure with a big fat F! Because of that, the Philippine economy will be affected because of the possible decrease of tourists especially coming from Hongkong. If I were inside that bus, I would really be traumatized of the event. I could possibly have post-traumatic stress disorders and it would give me sleepless nights. It was really a loss but as well as lessons learned. The Philippine Government has lots of explaining to do but I do hope our country's economy will remain stable or get better even with what happened at that hostage situation. Best of luck

So you are from the philipines. I think your commont about this event is objective. After this hostage event, everybody will be worried about the safty when they want to travel to your country. The tourism must be affected as well as the economy. Although my comment is a bit exaggerated, after all, the failure of rescue do brought negative effect to the philipines goverment.
