  • @llenos200 nothing u just said made sense dumbass

  • why did they name it Malaysia when it all actually happened in the southern Philippines ?

    anyways those american style weapons the rebels have are stolen from dead Filipino marines after they ambush them.

  • I got the whole entire 7 seasons:) AWESOME SHOW!!!

  • Malaysia...home for the terrorist....even the terrorist who bombs indonesia (the one who made MU plays in malaysia instead of indonesia) is from malaysia...

    "its a beautiful island....with so many trees, its beautiful. but there is so much evil lurking inside of it"

  • @FriendsJet And what is luck? What does luck mean to you? Luck can mean very different things to different people. Just because you have little faith in God deosnt mean he's not real or that you have to try and shake my believes in him. Leave me be, thank you.

  • You guys have seen something in one day that we Afghans are seeing everyday... I am happy you are save, but this is just another day for us...

  • God saved them :)

  • @fartsam08 indeed 

  • wow amazing

  • I wish Nat Geo would have pity on us in far flung places that don't get to see this series on TV and allow us at least to download something. I't's so well done, and so inspiring, we need stuff like this.

  • Sign up with Veoh (free) and you can see a lot of this series. They are restricted by copyright and often National Geographic will allow you to see only four parts of the five, and you miss out ten minutes, sometimes at the beginning, sometimes at the end. Sorry that Nat Geo feels it has to restrict us because many over the world (like me) never get this series on TV and we can only hope some kind person manages to break the copyright. I think this series is a community service for all.

  • would been better if i can see whole version

  • anyone know where could I see this series online?

  • @BarrenBlueElf you can watch in channel 108, if you got cox

  • @oromo1991

    Another terrible name being used these days is the word. Subcontractor. What are they but degenerated into a life of only being a part of something and not worthy of a whole project. Poor people.

  • @MassiveAttack08

    And the ones like you stay. This country is grrrreat. Cuss at some more people because that helps me with my YT education. I'm trying to pass this course by the way. Someday to be a full fledged commenter. And everyone will be in awe of my replies. I wonder if there is any money in it. You little people don't worry when I become a great commenter I won't forget you. I won't forget. You can count on that. I comment on YT because everyone tells me to shut up in reality

  • When you prayed to God..God saved you!..good testimony!

  • @IslamCutsHeads

    Reread my comment once again and l will leave your personal "hatred" or "ranting" between you and Allah subhanahu wa ta'la, please refrain from twisting my words. Ma'asalaam

  • This experience also thought us the importance of tolerance and understanding for others and how important forgiveness is. If you cannot forgive you will always be a hostage. Violence and hate has never and will never be the solution. It will only fuel wars and destroy people.

  • i totally agree with u

  • @MoniqueStrydomSA

    I have no idea how you can forgive these arseholes. It's peices of shit like this who give muslims a bad name. I'm not muslim but I think twice about going anywhere that is muslim due to vermin like ASG. I hope they all die slow, painful deaths!

  • During this time we faced many challenges, made many friends and saw many miracles. We are and always have been reborn Christians and therefore give God all the glory for our safe release. We have now dedicated our lives to helping others in need and our charity has helped thousands of abused children in South Africa. We have chosen to use this experience to seek out the positive in life and also to NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!

  • Thank you to all who have made comments. To answer some of the questions:

    We were on a scuba diving holiday in Sipidan considered one of the best scuba diving spots in the world. This is an island in Malaysia and considered to be safe. We are abducted on the second day of our holiday by the Abu Sayyaf. We were taken to Jolo Island in the Philippines where we were kept hostage for 4 months.

  • I remembered the incident was on 23 april 2000, right. during that time, you were at the resort right? when the rebels come.

  • Yes, indeed. We were just finished with dinner and were still chatting to the dive master, when the rebels arrived.

  • ooo thanks for clearing that up. =)

  • Why do people go on vacation to these places they KNOW are not safe for (white) foreigners? - You couldn't pay me enough money to go to most of Indonesia, the Philippines, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Columbia or anywhere in the Arab world where these backwards ass fanatical (mostly) Muslim retards don't twice about murdering innocent tourists in cold blood just to make a point.

  • I must say, I agree. There are certain places that tourists from the West should NOT go without guides, tours, information, and proper security!! You can't just ship off to a foreign extremely dangerous land and run off by yourself or else you're asking for it

  • isn't it called Banged Up Abroad?

  • @alikos88

    You claim to be "a muslim" yet to hate arabs. Did you forget who the holy Qur'an was revealed to subhanallah. Quite a character running around YT professing your opinion and claiming your muslim astaghfurallah

  • What a Vacation

  • and south africa his a rich country DUMBASS

  • says the "liberal" "tolerant" "accepting" lady???

    listen miss, have you ever been outside to the Middle East?

    I guess not- its really easy to sit back and lecture me on how "biased" I am..its not bias mate let me tell you-- its called EXPERIENCE

    8 bloody years of it in that desert hell.

    Live there for one day and watch your "Liberal/Accepting" attitude go down the gutter.

  • I am biased agains Arabs yes, there low life scum and I do not associate with them.

    I am from India - I lived in the middle east for 8 years-- I was treated like a dog by these "high and mighty" arabs-- THEY are the RACIST ones.

    On the other hand I have the utmost respect for PEACEFUL cultures: Japanese society is a model, Thai, Malay

    ofcouse Native American/Inuit -- Metis Tribal specifically.. I prefer INUVIK(native settlement) over Middle East ANY DAY..some of my closest friends were Oneida

  • these fuckard muslim terrorist! sigh~ it made me sad, bcoz i wanna go to school in marawi but because of this video, i'll not go there anymore and forever until these fuckards surrender and realize peace... T_T

  • its not muslims-- its FUCKING ARABS

    Islam is a peaceful religion - its FUCKING arabs that fuck everythign up

    they spread hate- and encourage Africans, Asians to join in

    Fucking arabs

  • yes FUcking arabs!!!

    think they are diffrent and better than everyone else

    fucking ARABS !!!

  • yeah thats right

    I am Indian and muslim - I live in the Middle East for 8 years -- I fucking HATED IT THERE

    Arabs think there God's gift to Earth..

    the act arrogant- there savage primitive bastards.

    also they treat Us ASIANS like SHIT.

    they think INDIANS, Chinese, Malaysians, Fillipinos are subhumans.

    they treat us like dogs in the middle east

    I lived there-- I have seen it

    I really hate arabs

  • @alikos88 I heard if arabs hate you they pour coffee or tea on themselves and then blame a tourist. Just what I heard.

  • @krrrruptidsoless

    I wouldnt put that past those scum of earth

    I am indian-- I hate those dirt bags.

  • me too :(

  • dumb ass.. its not in sth africa.. they are south african

  • omg almost made me cry

  • it aint south africa they r in malaysia

  • Oh my goodness, this looks horrible.  I can't imagine being in a situation like that.

  • massiveattack08, i see another american who cant act like an adult and just throws insults at other people because he really has no valid input on ANYTHING! how many times have i seen scared americans act EXACTLY like you are doing? many, many times...

  • Why don't you get the fuck out you fucktard before I put a bullet in your head.

  • That would be great for them to go where the corporate media didn't berate them. But they've got their work cut out for them right here in the good ol' USA. They've got a constitution to restore and a soon-to-be ex-president to prosecute, convict and execute.

    If I do go, I hope we can still keep in touch on YouTube, just so I can be reminded of what I'll be missing in this great land of genetically modified milk and honey.

  • That's a nice thought. It would be nice to live in a country where they not only pay for college, but pay you to attend college. And where health care is free. That would be Denmark.

    Norway takes their oil revenue and has a national savings account for future generations instead of a $10 trillion debt for our future generations. Norway would be nice. Perhaps I'll look into that some day.

    But for now I believe in "America, love it or fix it." Go Ralph Nader!

  • I wouldn't vote for McCain unless I had brain damage. I can't vote for Obama because the Commission on Debates is owned by Dems/Reps and I can't support fascism in any form when they exclude all third party candidates. I would have voted for Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich had they won the nomination perhaps. I want Canadian style healthcare. Obama is against that.

  • wish I was in that scenario, a miracle they survived, and a miracle their life has changed with this great impact.

    Good luck with your future, I bet it'll be beautiful.

  • POOR PEOPLE! GOD BLESS THEM!

  • where were they vacationing again?

  • shieet..why would you want to go in a hostile area to vacation?? these two people r so damn lucky that they were not executed. i'd do research before going anywhere.

  • Serious question, no joke. Who was doing the video? or is that simulation?

  • LOL! its a reenactment!

  • well obviously

  • lmao

  • Just stay away from brown people and generally speaking, you'll be fine.

  • Ummm, because when someone commits violence on that level, they sacrifice their humanity... it's not hard to understand

  • So, they were in a middle of a rebel war?

  • Alfrunk, the military were attacking the rebels that had these people in their camp as hostages. The military didnt care about collateral damage, they just wanted to take out the rebels.

  • Meh - I don't believe they would use artillery for that. What the hell were these "people" doing in the dark jungle with those hellacious savage sub humans anyway??

  • are you following me? I cna only wonder what kinda of man can hide so snug behind an IP address. What kind of man can be so tough, so strong, and have such personal conviction to racism. Your probably the same guy who's scared of a black mans power, more than the white mans powder. give it a rest kid.

  • Racist? I'm not the one blowing people up for no reason you bedwetting moron. Stop crying racism, it's getting old and no one's buying it anymore. Sad.

  • blowing up? bedwetting? Crying? I must be talking to a child. Anyway...did you like this video?

  • Uh huh... right - they were getting shelled by artillery. Real believable. I'm sure those brown morons would really waste that kind of money and resource on some stupid liberal idiots. Tell me another one!

  • i saw this episode last monday night and i was appalled by the way they handle the hostage crisis!i guess thats how 3rd world government military handle hostage crisis by attackin and bombing the terrorist's lair with the hostages placed on high risk!they even said their captors became their protectors(LOL)! Just like what they did to Martin Burnham who died from a military bullet! both featured in locked up abroad. this is so sad!

  • If I gotta go out with my woman, Ima go out having sex. I dont care what the situation is. And she wanted to have a baby. You have nothing to loose. If I survive then the baby would have been creatied out of truth and love. 4real.

  • But then you'd never have a chance to neglect it and not pay for it! How can you fulfill your duties as a minority then??

  • this is so sad

  • This is touching.

  • "And then I turned to him & said that I wanted a baby". How could you think about sex at a time like this? When you are about to die? Get ahold of yourself woman!

  • wow that's amazing, it's people like that rebel that inspire me. That unnamed rebel, who it looks like died trying to protect someone who's chance of living was incredibly small.

  • ajail92, go away you racist 13yro midget what plays WoW. I bet you wouldn't say that to the face of a coloured man or woman.

    The South Africans /African Race is fine, they are good people, its just the dictator up the top what controls people and turns them on each other.

  • what has playing WoW and being a 13 year old midget who is racisit got to do with anything....I play WoW and I find that comment offensive.

  • And what he said wasn't offensive to anyone?

    clue up.

  • How did shaun928 even know that ajail92 is a WoW player?

  • I would bet that if you could first spell and second be able to see the people who read your comment. You would see their reaction you would realize why our world is screwed. People who are uninformed and who are irresponsible especially with their words cause the problems of today.

    If you were to say that face to face with some one would you? Would even you say that to a stranger on the sidewalk?

  • you know what is the biggest treath of human beein? .... fucking american economie.. leaders of our world DONT GIVE A SHIT about ecological problems. they are just in power for either Theyre own interest or for the interest of someone more powerfull then them!

  • That's the problem with the Internet and how it allows anonymity of the people who posts things. Due to the Internet there is a great rise in racism, prejudice and bigotry especially in the comments people write. It's shameful how despite being technologically advanced, people are still stuck in this mentality of being able to use the Internet but not able to use it wisely.

  • Yes, isn't it horrible that we can't limit free speech to what YOU think it should be? What a travesty.

  • Oh yeah, I'm so glad you see my point. Thanks for agreeing.

  • huh?? what's so funny about MILF?

  • do u know what it is??

  • (MILF)muro islamic liberation form...

    they plan to colonize the city from where i am, Iligan...

    just last last month i think, they were attacking the city and around three buildings were bombed... and i was so scared because there were rumors that they are just around the neighborood... and everyone was getting ready to evacuate,...

  • Got goosebumps from watching this.

    Amazing video.

  • the last thing they wanted to do be4 dieing

  • do not go to masia. gotcha.

  • so did you make babies??

  • Must of been doing the dirty ....

    In the background wasn't bombs.....it was a real orgasm

  • I from singapore O.O malaysia is above us wdf!

  • Let me get this right, they had sex while they where being shot at?

  • i dont think so they were just holding each other man

  • Haha thank god.

  • in asia so much rebels specialy in Malaysia and The Philippines.. i think this rebel called Abu Sayyaf..

  • if your rich-white ass had bothered to read the small print of your travel-agency contract you would have known that hostage taking was part of the package.

  • Locked Up:Abroad.........It shoulda been called -Locked Up A Broad and some Jerkoff.

  • Hey why not go to Iraq of Georgia on vacation! Its also a lot of fun) Afganistan is nice too)

  • its a Muslim militant group... well no surprise there. considering its in Malaysia. religion of peace my ass.

  • the guy said ground to air? o.O I am pretty sure those are 105 howitzers rounds. who is firing it anyways? rebels or army? overkill I think.

  • The rebels wouldn't have Howitzers.

  • no but they would have m249 saws, m240b submachine guns, and whatever else the u.s. government supplies them with. do you remember the iran-contra scandal? c.i.a. sold weapons to iran to fund the rebel group's attempt to overthrow their government.

  • different continent, decade.

    Most of the weapons these guys get are from the former USSR. Hence the AK's.

  • They were kidnapped in Malaysia nt in South Africa == and They were in the Phillipines.

  • south africa has gone to shit after a black people took over the government....

  • Lesson; Don't go to conflicted war zones on vacation.

  • Looks like I'll have to cancel my trip to South Africa.

  • Real UT 2004

  • it's called "adventure". perhaps you may want to try leaving the computer and trying it some time.

    not to mention, they obviously wern't looking to be kidnapped. it just happened. we don't even know how it happened

  • wtf

  • wow this isnt iraq NEWS FLASHH

  • haha who sold these rebels freaking ground 2 air missles its like gee thats not a good idea. and whats the chances they have that sitting around and they wheel it out and happen 2 fire directly next to the 2 count em 2 vacationers

  • nahh.. its just a movies

  • all that bombing just to kill two vacationers?

    sigh... americans... sigh

  • is that some sort of joke, or are you a complete moron?

    these are two south african vacationers who were kidnapped by malasian rebels. the Malasian army/police then shelled/"bombed" them.

    though i admit, the Americans are not the brightest, this video has nothing to do with them

  • *sigh* American stereotypes *sigh*

    How fucking hard is it to see that nobody involved here was an American? The guy barely spoke English and the female has a European accent. I, an American, am smarter than you.

    I also have the Bill of Rights (which is under constant threat, but it beats the shit out of the nonexistent Chinese Bill of Rights). I don't have to send my kids to work in a dangerous low paying field, I don't have to share a house with 50 other people, and I have running water. ^.^

  • I also learned English because it's what everyone around me speaks rather than because that's what all the job producers speak (it's also ironic we, the "stupid" people you hate so much, are the ones who thought up your job). Chicken blood doesn't run down the streets. Our biggest concern isn't if we'll run out of living space tomorrow. My government, while horribly inaccurate, doesn't take me away in the middle of the night to a "happy camp" whenever I do something they don't like.

  • Cat isn't on the menu. We use US money because it's our currency rather than because it's the only currency of actual value we can get a hold of. Bikes are for exercise and recreation rather than cross country trips. Not to mention our work with electricity and computers allowed for you to read this without me having to send a carrier pigeon to your shit-hole of a country.

  • couldn't have said it better myself

  • traumatic expierences such as this are a great way to get closer/connect with your lover/significant other which leads to amazing sex!

  • hahaha true

  • wow u retard

  • they're actually asian

  • another fabricated story by national geographic.

  • abu sayaf are not malaysian, therefore there not rebel. they are a terrorist group from the philipines

  • This is life in Iraq. Vote Ralph Nader.

  • sex sex sex sex sex.

    :D

  • >>"why do people become religious all of a sudden when things go bad "

    Because human beings are unable to find comfort in the big bang theory.

  • lol true.

  • I know one! When you die, you will decay and your cells will became food for decomposers and you will be energy for the decomposer! Then the plants absorb the nutrients from the ground of your dead body, a cow eats the plants, you eat the cow, and now your remains come back to a human!

  • Fuck you. How will I be able to eat beef now :O ?

  • Because beef is good. I love science.

  • Why do people like you even care about us becoming religious when things go bad, obviously you wouldn't understand...

  • why do people question someone for turning to religion in a critical situation?

    Cause sitting in your mommys basement all day doesnt require any faith or hope.

  • And then the guy started piledriving the chick in the middle of the hellfire..!

  • thats exactly what i was thinking xDD

  • AAAArrrrrrrrgghhh....:]

  • WOOT ARTILLERY FTW

  • WOWAWEEWEE
