Sydney Airport Shut Down - Hostage Situation at Lindt Cafe
There is currently a hostage situation with what appears to be 2 gunman demonstrating support for ISIS.
As a result YSSY has been shut down and airspace around it. Anyone at the airport? Must be chaos.
Best wishes to the hostages involved in the siege.

11:35am: Sydney's Muslim leaders have expressed their concerns and a number of organisations have offered to help in "any way they can."
11:17am: We reported earlier that Sydney air space was shut down. That is not correct. No Sydney sir [sic] space has been shut down, Air Services says.
