"Thought - Airport stuff"

If I was a terrorist, not saying I am, but if I was, and I wanted to kill a lot of people, what I'd do is this.

I'd send bomb threats to loads of major airports around London. Maybe sacrifice a few people to show them that there are people taking bombs in.

All the time, leave one airport clean, and as all the other airports close, all the customers that have had their flights at all the other airports cancelled will travel to this one.

...And as it starts to get overcrowded because there aren't enough planes...

*boom*

Mummy, this man scares me!

Yep, i think it was what was being symbolised by the buildings that made them a target. That and the fact that there size made them a little easier to hit with a jumbo jet.

I reckon aircraft are a rubbish target anyway - the reason why the WTC was such a good target (from Al-Quaeda's point of view) was that not only did it have loads of people in, but caused massive commercial upset, as it housed a ludcrous amount of financial institutions. Plus it was such a powerful symbol of Western and more importantly, American capitalism.

London and New York Stock Exchanges would be high on the list of targets I would have thought.

Are you sure? Maybe, they are going Glasgow - Arizona - London.

Glasgow to London, before flying out to Arizona, of course.

Hmmm... someone I knew was flying out to Arizona today.

They had to fly from Glasgow to London (not sure which London airport though), but I think they might've just missed all the Gatwick stuff as they went early.

Dunno. Thankfully I'm not going on any holiday for a while.

You're not making anything easier for me!

I'm flying Sunday morning...

Just hope that they don't do anything, I'll be so ****** off if I lose a holiday from anything....

May be selfish, but I've been looking forward to this for aaaages!

Exactly. That's why Blair has sent the tanks etc to Heathrow. I live like 5 miles away from Heathrow, and I can say judging by the people I have talked to, nobody feels threatened by living so close. Bush wants the oil from Iraq, it's Korea he should be careful about. He's just carrying on from what his father started years ago...war. Stupid muppets.

Yep, local papers are famous for their hard hitting stories aren't they... :P "Trolley stolen from waste ground" "Pensioners car stolen, then remembers where it was parked" Anyone whose read the column in FHM will have seen great examples, but I'm sure your film reviews were okay :)
