Sylvain, I'm waiting on you to go all John McClane and crawl through the duct work to save the day...

 

[Sylvain]

I'm a couple of hours away and don't even own a sleeveless shirt.

The hostage-taker apparently wants to talk to the embassador of Iran in Paris.
Says he has explosives and is "heavily armed".

Gotcha. Some of the street-level ones made me think you were roaming around snapping pics.

Glad this got resolved. Hope the hostages are OK.

I wouldn't put it past him. He is our resident French-land photographer.

I am also glad this got resolved and hope the hostages came out ok.
