#1 "botched rescue attempt"

What a load of B.S. The Bavarian state police had no idea what they were doing and just shot it out with the terrorists. To botch means you had some kind of plan that didn't work. There wasn't any plan. Just "shoot and miss".

You mean like the Uvalde police fiasco?

#3 The Olympic Massacre happened back when international terrorism was the New Thing and we were progressing from "Take this plane to Cuba" theater where no one got hurt to a form where dead people on TV was the goal. Due to the newness of it all, I'd cut the Bavarians a little slack. Besides, that thing about no plan survives first contact with the enemy...

At Uvalde, on the other hand, they should have been able to flip open a binder and run the play. The school has plans for fires and tornadoes. Not having one for crazy people is negligent.

#4 /\ What SteveS said. This is 2020 and there are FPS games with scenario editors -- they could have a 3D mockup already to plan things. Of course the "real thing" probably will be modified by humans and "tree gnomes" (the mythical creatures that add imaginary trees to you GPS plotted map route -or- make real terrain features disappear in VR).

#5 The local police had apparently gone through live exercise training on exactly this kind of thing only a few weeks previously, I understand.
