Ukraine and SPEED
A hostage situation in Ukraine ended safely when the country's president met one of the gunman's odd demands – posting a video encouraging folks to watch a Joaquin Phoenix movie.
Here's the deal … a heavily armed man took 13 people hostage on a bus in western Ukraine, leading to a tense, day-long standoff Tuesday with police.
The gunman told cops he rigged the bus with explosives and was holding the passengers hostage, and gave the government a list of demands. Sounds a lot like the plot of "Speed," right?!?
