    Armageddon lite.

    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

      Oh, just critical. So we should act as we normally do.

        Well, maybe the poor bastards didn't know how dangerous it was to fly before CNN's microphoneholders made them aware of it

            Sounds like perfectly normal Scottish behavior to me

              Glasgow airport shut down, folks stranded on the tarmac. I saw a report (on CNN) of Liverpool airport shutdown, dont know what thats about.

              Successive hits in two days in opposite ends of the UK, that did manage to get explosives, and one of the three managed to set alight and at least try to explode. I dont know if it exploded, but it was at least a big fire, the terminal looks pretty damaged.

              This cell seems to far more competent than the groups in the US that we've heard about so far. Thank goodness for their poor driving, for alert police, and in Glasgow for the security bollards.

              At also appears that part of the hospital in Glasgow where the burnt guy (burning man?) was taken was evacuated due to a suspect device (a suicide belt?)
              Perhaps the intended tactic was to have him run inside with the belt while vehicle distracted security. I dont know.

              UK security seems wise to treat this with the utmost seriousness until more is known.

                If it was terrorists, they were hilariously inept.
                And it was in Glasgow, Scotland not in England. My aunt flew into Glasgow yesterday.

                      If you call these antics 'competent' I don't think we have too much to fear

                        Is it first class? I don't want to have to standing a 1'x1' box next to two outrageously fat men with bad gas.
