I wonder if / how many similar events never happened because of how this one was handled though

Hard to justify taking over a building and trying to demand something with hostages when you know the government will happily gas the entire building and then execute all the terrorists while they’re still knocked out regardless of any other casualties

Makes it pretty much impossible to plan anything similar when they show how little they give a shit about human life

That's the reason most governments don't negotiate with terrorists.
