Another source (TV station out of LA)... (Edit: Dated years ago sorry)

Source: http://www.wsmh19.com/fire-alarm-shots-fired-at-nakatomi-plaza/

Sources tell us that a man named Hans Gruber has radioed the police with a set of demands. Again, details are unconfirmed at the time. Here is the unverified transcription of the radioed demands from Mr. Gruber:

â€œThe following people are to be released from their captors. In Northern Ireland, the seven members of the New Provo Front. In Canada, the five imprisoned leaders of Liberte de Quebec. In Sri Lanka, the nine members of the Asian Dawn movement.â€

"Quebec Liberation Front"; French pronunciation: â€‹[fÊÉ”Ìƒ dÉ™ libeÊasjÉ”Ìƒ dy kebÉ›k]) was a separatist and Marxist-Leninist terrorist[1][2] and paramilitary group in Quebec.[3][4] Founded in the early 1960s, it was a militant part of the Quebec sovereignty movement.

Deputy Chief of Police Dwayne T. Robinson has assured the public the situation is under control.

We will post more updates as they develop.

Somebody posted the breaking new story on Facebook yesterday with all intentions of it being a joke, and sure enough replies from gullible people took it serious.

FB is a hotbed for that type people. A magnet really!

This is really clever. I was reading a couple of days ago that some malcontents were unhappy that Die Hard was included in a list of Christmas movies. So what if it isn't the usual feel-good holiday movie? It's a different feel-good -- the hero overcomes the bad guy. Feels good to me.

By the way -- rest in peace Alan Rickman. Superb as the villain.

Why not. They fell for this Gruber.
