Thankfully, the disgruntled French factory workers that kidnapped Sony France chief executive Serge Foucher didn't look anything
like this (Warning: link goes to
Killzone 2 spoiler). Because, if they were anything like the Helghast seen in that clip, he wouldn't have been released safe and sound.
Foucher had spent a night as a hostage at Sony's "videotape" plant in Pontonx-sur-l'Adour, southwest France, before being released this morning. Over a dozen laid off factory workers held him captive, barricading the building's entrances with tree trunks. Foucher was originally there to officially close the factory and send-off over 300 workers. Luckily, everything ended peacefully without having to call in the ISA.
