Re: Attack at Glasgow Airport
Blimey ! Am I being cynical in saying it doesn't look like a "random accident" ?

Re: Attack at Glasgow Airport
My friend is flying back to Glasgow this weekend to visit his parents, after moving to Gran Canaria.I think (hope) his flight is tomorrow.
I hope no one is hurt. It's only small airport, and I've flown from their countless times.

Re: Attack at Glasgow Airport
i think they'll re-route his flight to another scottish airport
 "I saw a Jeep Cherokee apparently as if it was trying to get right through the doors into the terminal building. "There were flames coming out from underneath then some men appeared from in amongst the flames. "The police ran over and the people started fighting with the police. I then heard what sounded like an explosion."

Re: Attack at Glasgow Airport
Holidaymaker Stephen Clarkson said he knocked one of the men to the floor before police intervened.
He said: "There was an Asian male. He was lying on the floor and he was on fire, the Jeep was on fire as well. "The fellow got up and started fighting with police. I managed to knock the Asian fellow to the ground and four police officers got on top of him." He added: "His whole body was on fire. He was quite a big fellow and was disorientated otherwise I wouldn't have been able to knock him down."

Re: Attack at Glasgow Airport
Totally off thread I know, so appologies.
We were flying from Glasgow to Milan via Heathrow. We remembered we were having tea the next afternoon with my friend's Nona, so we went to the shop in Glasgow airport to purchase some little Scottish gifts for this nice old lady. As Nonna spoke no English, and we can only swear and order drinks in Italian, the gifts were greatfully received, but we were too giddy to try and explain that the tartan headcsarf she'd decided to wear was actually a tea-towel.

Re: Attack at Glasgow Airport
As the car driver and passenger are still alive maybe they will be able to tell us their motives. Did they do it for Allah or have they just got a personal grievance against Glasgow Airport?

Re: Attack at Glasgow Airport
an interesting if rather stupid theory behind the recent car bombings...
could it be a protest against the smoking ban?

Re: Attack at Glasgow Airport
It says the car and the man was already on fire, it could've possibly ben a dropped cigarette that caused them to lose control, and they attacked the police in their panic
