Summary:In Nagasaki, 2 men, whose motive appeared to be ransom, seized a bus at a petrol station. There were 16 people inside, and the hi-jackers told the police they could blow up the bus in 3 seconds. However, the police mounted a carefully planned assault, captured the hi-jackers and dragged the hostages to safety through the shattered windows. Both the hi-jackers were wounded and one died later in hospital.
