TVB Cancels Controversial Bus Hostage Scene
TVB is listening to the public this time.
New drama "Flying Tigers" was filming a bus hostage scene earlier and the scene is accused of resembling the real bus hostage crisis that happened in Manila last year, where 8 Hong Kong residents died and some others were injured.
Despite of controversy, the crew still filmed the scene anyway. However, perhaps fear of further troubles, TVB decided to cancel this scene and a new story is being shoot. Instead of a bus hostage, a boat was used. Actors are relieved, including lead Jessica Hsuan.
"The whole thing was a tragedy. This new scene should be more comfortable to watch. I think it's better not to have it."
Patrick Tang, who was filming the scene with Jessica, expressed he was upset when he arrived at the filming set earlier. Now the setting is changed, everyone should feel more comfortable about it.
