I don't know where the no fly zone is but I just heard a plane over me. I guess it's just over the cbd

Doesn't appear to be a no fly zone currently. Ch 7 copter currently hovering over the the CBD

Channel7 - Police now wearing night vision goggles.

Channel7 - Chopper report saying many of the buildings have the lights dimmed or turned off.

At the end of a dark day an unexpected, moving and powerful movement has sprung from the darkness. http://bit.ly/1wvxGXz #illridewithyou

My very close friend is feeling very sad and upset right now. She is the most beautiful, kind and loving person you'd ever hope to meet and she just happens to be Muslim I wish I could give her a huge hug right now.

OMG! I have read just the first page of this thread and am so afraid for the hostages! I absolutely love all of our Australian friends and am praying and hoping this hostage situation can be resolved without any injuries to them!!!

I just don't even know what else I can say because I don't know if we can discuss ISIS here on this thread. Better read the rest of the thread first.

It's too dangerous to shoot through glass, so I would think that maybe LE could get through the venting system if it is big enough. If not, at least a live listening device could be threaded through enough to be able to hear what is going on inside the café.

May God be with al of the hostages, their families, and LE who are trying to resolve the situation.

MOO

Can you believe our media is doing media reports on how other media outlets around the world are reporting this situation????

Does it really excite media that much to hear an Aussie story being reported overseas .. like hello, it's not a good sign when that happens!

Those poor ppl inside facing the night in there with that gunman

"Four armed men have entered an apartment in the Belgian city of Ghent and authorities have closed the surrounding area.

.... it is unknown whether the situation is related to the ongoing Sydney cafe hostage siege."

Someone on TV said one of the girls had only been working at the Lindt cafe for 1½ weeks ....

 

[AAAA]

That connection would be too weird.
