Horror Familiarisation trip as 10 travel agents held hostage in China

Frightening story coming out of Shaanxi province in China (location of the entombed warriors). Ten Australian travellers - all of them travel agents on a famil - were taken hostage. A hijacker (now dead at the hands of Chinese authorities) stormed the tour bus and took the travel agent hostage for about 2 hours before being tricked into leaving the tour bus and being shot by the authorities. According to reports none of the Australian travel agents were hurt. SMH story here.

I am never going to complain about a business trip ever again.
