Was either the inbound or outbound US flight affected by the vehicle attack on the terminal building? Thank God nobody was hurt!!!!
US flights affected by GLA vehicle attack?
- Thread starter Dont call me Shirley
- Start date
The outbound had just departed. Ticket counter employees are OK altho a bit shaken up, as you can imagine.
Have you watched the news? The press is often wrong, but they (British) do have people in custody and are calling it a terrorist attack related to the 2 car bombs found in London yesterday.

Well, we know that an SUV happened to have a bomb in it and tried twice to ram it into the airport before exploding. I guess there could be other explanations for this 🙄
Oh man.. security is going to stepped up again. These people are bound to make more trouble.. who pissed them off now..
Bovine fertilizer, and you are really stupid to believe otherwise.
1) We, as a world state, need to quit dumping on others. Removing, even if in a prejudicial manner, Bush/Cheney would be a good start.
2) You leap to conclusions that have nothing to do with reality ( comments about moronic Tempe management excluded).
When the Cheney led cable TV frenzy dies down, then, and only then, will you be able to make a rational decision about what happened. Anything before simply plays into the terrorist hands, you are doing their job for them, therefore you would be a traitor, in real terms.
I'd give you my Pentagon inputs but they would like to, despite the lying White House, keep their jobs.
You might wish to visit <http://www.schneier.com/blog/> for an intellectual, vs White House jacked crack-based input.
You are being lied to, in many different ways. Try to keep up with intelligence.
Funny, the very morons who constantly disparage the main stream media, will quote them as authorities when it trips their alcohol enhanced "tropens".
Define "bomb", please, DELETED BY MODERATOR..NO PERSONAL ATTACKS.
Funny, who is in custody? and how does that relate to London?
What do you call a car with 50 gallons of gas?
A Cadillac Escalade? That hardly makes a "bomb".
Did you ever consider that there was scheduled a "gay pride" parade just past those points in a few hours and that there are some really die-hard anti-gay groups in England, as well as the US?
They don't even know if there were ME people involved, yet. What an incendiary fool you are.
Please go back under the rock you belong.
As usual, the rush to judgement by morons. You all "might" be correct. To proceed as if you were without any substantive evidence reveals your bigotry, in all its colors.

A bomb is an explosive device that generates and releases its energy very rapidly. The explosion creates a violent, destructive shock wave. Bombs cause destruction and injury to objects and living things within the blast radius by the crushing action of the shockwave (pressure) and by mechanical impact of fragments, including shards of the bomb casing (often called "shrapnel") or objects from the surrounding area propelled by the blast. Also, bombs have been known to kill by the sound of the blast, by the sound waves causing pressure on the body in such a way that may wound and/or kill a human. Bombs have been used for centuries in both conventional and unconventional warfare. Most bombs do not contain more energy than ordinary fuel, except in the case of a nuclear weapon.
The word comes from the Greek word βόμβος (bombos), an onomatopoetic term with approximately the same meaning as "boom" in English.
Bombs are first and foremost weapons; the term "bomb" is not usually applied to explosive devices used for civilian purposes, such as construction or mining, although the people using the devices may sometimes refer to them as bombs. Many military explosive devices are not called "bombs". The military mostly calls airdropped, unpowered explosive weapons "bombs," and such bombs are normally used by air forces and naval aviation. Other military explosive devices are called grenades, shells, depth charges, warheads when in missiles, or land mines.
Experts commonly distinguish between civilian and military bombs. The latter are almost always mass-produced weapons, developed and constructed to a standard design out of standard components and intended to be deployed in a standard way each time. By contrast, civilian bombs are usually custom-made, developed to any number of designs, use a wide range of explosives of varying levels of power and chemical stability, and are used in many different ways. For this reason, they are generally referred to as improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Sorry I wasn't clear enough....
You are right. You were not clear enough.
Does 50 gallons of gas constitute a "bomb"? Only to a pathetically stupid person as gasoline does not release its energy very rapidly,unless under very special conditions not present in the cars. Though, if you are really into Hollywood and not reality, you might think otherwise.
Cretins like you are what give terrorists hope. Does that not make you someone that aids and abets terrorists, a terrorist yourself?
Thank you for helping out terrorists worldwide!

Are you suggesting that rather than an attack it was instead sorta like a spin off of running the Olympic Torch to the stadium befor the games begin?
Then you will go hungry.
