According to the news, the SWAT Team trained first on how they will execute the assault on the bus. IN the training, they were able to break the door and window of the bus and they easily pinpointed the hostage taker. When the real assault that night was commenced, they followed what they trained a while ago. Their positions where perfect and they were able to go near the bus immediately. With their sledgehammer and axe, they tried to break the window and the door. The thing they didn't expect is that the window and the door are made of fiber glass so it made their job difficult until the hostage taker fired the unit in front of the bus and they were not expecting it from the suspect. The lack of tools to break the door and window. They attempted to throw tear gas inside the bus but they don't have any gas mask and night vision goggle to infiltrate the bus easily. Also, as you everyone knows, there was a police, who was later named as Yabut, went near the bus without wearing any vest and helmet to protect himself. The SWAT suffered different criticism from different social networking sites. The name of SWAT itself was renamed as "Sayang Wala Akong Training", Sugod Wait Atras Tago" and etc.
The other factor that hindered the success of the negotiation was the person whom Mendoza was talking in his cellular phone. This man was the one responsible for telling Mendoza to open the television in order to watch what the police are doing to his brother.
After the said bloodbath, PNP Director Jesus Versoza ordered the relieve from position of the ground commander Gen. Magpantay.
