We saw no photos or film on the released hostages. Hopefully they're not in comas like the last one.

Usually when hostages are released they show photos of them waving and happy to be released. This time nothing but that they were released and their plane will arrive at Andrews at 2:00a.m. and the president will be there to meet them. I'm praying that they are in good health for the sake of this nation.

know at the time he was in a coma and near death at the time. Also, when the Iranian hostages were released they took them to Germany to get them cleaned up and medically evaluated before they returned them home. That photo in this thread, I saw that photo earlier before the announcement even came that they had just been released so I'm not sure that is a recent photo. Their own people are starving to death in North Korea and those guys in the photos in this thread look really healthy. I expected to see pictures because that's what has always happened in previous hostage situations.
