Eyewitnesses have described a Jeep Cherokee being driven at speed towards the building with flames coming out from underneath. They have also described seeing two Asian men, one of whom was on fire, who had been in the car. The airport has been evacuated and all flights suspended following the incident. One eyewitness said: "I heard the sound of a car's wheels spinning and smoke smoke coming out. "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." Whoa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Inno Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 There was a taxi driver interviewed on BBC news right after it happened - the guy was a genius, trying to sound like Jeremy Paxman on wheels : "i have no doubt - NO DOUBT - that this is al qaeda and that the cops should be armed. members of the public attacked the man on fire, and they are the real heroes here" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul 584 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 members of the public attacked the man on fire, and they are the real heroes here" :lol Oh look, someone burning to death, lets batter them senseless while they are unable to fight back, and in fact will be instead trying to put out the flames before being taken to a hospital then a jail cell.

Guest Al Stevens Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 It's now being confirmed as a terrorist attack. I think there trying to test our new prime minster. Where's next Birmingham, Leeds ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRM 220 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Mr Saxon should send the Tocaflane after them. Good to hear that no innocent people have been injured. Sounds an extremely amaterish attempt if you ask me, they probably concocted this evil sceme over a bowl of cereal this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FreeSpirit Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Where's next Birmingham, Leeds ect It could be anywhere. Whose even to say it will be a major city, it could be somewhere no one thinks off like Alton Towers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anime Otaku Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Yeah I don't think this was Al Qieda per se, more likely some nutters that perhaps are emulating them or influenced by a dodgy Imam, or they could just be common or garden nutters.

Paul 584 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 It could be anywhere. Whose even to say it will be a major city, it could be somewhere no one thinks off like Alton Towers etc I always thought terror tactics would work best if they attacked small villages as well. Make sure nobody ever felt safe anywhere. Anyway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, even while on fire he was attacking the cops, and trying to get other potential explosives out of the boot. Trying to finish the job i'd expect.....methinks i shall be a smidgen more careful when i travel from here on in.:sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
