The Ecuadorean president, for at least the next few days, is remarkably cool:

...Two people died in clashes between police and the military after hundreds of troops arrived at a hospital outside the country's capital to rescue Correa on Thursday night, Ecuador's Red Cross reported. At least 88 people were injured in unrest throughout the country.

The violent standoff between police and troops lasted for nearly an hour, said Freddy Paredes, a reporter for CNN affiliate Teleamazonas who watched the shootout from a hospital room.

Correa, wearing a military helmet and a gas mask, escaped in a wheelchair as gunfire rang out, he said...

What a visual. What an escape. What a situation. Like Gotham City gone national.
