My sister was meant to be getting a flight home to Glasgow airport today and mum was just about to leave to pick her up when we heard the news, and now the flights have all been suspended.

You have to laugh at the ineptness. No virgins for them.

Maybe all the competant terrorists were used up in 9/11 and we really ought not to worry anymore.  Maaaaybe.

That's one of them dead now.  I wonder if he'll qualify for a Darwin award.

Probably. He will need nominating though....

Honestly, it's about fucking time.  There's no way anyone could survive 3rd degree burns over 90% of the body; he was just wasting NHS resources by living this long...

It's weak that they took over the planes with boxcutters.  I wear boots that can be more dangerous.  (and they let me wear them on airplanes)

I think someone could, as they are mainly 3rd degree. He certainly put up a fight when he was taken in.

At least he was polite enough not to attempt to strangle any of the nurses with his IV drip.  Maybe we should be considerate in turn and not bury him with a pig carcass like we planned to.

He was probably sedated. The other option is that his death was bullshit and he has recovered and gone to an interrogation facility.

I like The Register's article:

Getting back to here and now, these have to be some of the most pathetic terror attacks ever - difficult to distinguish from minor accidents. For goodness' sake, a car is full of petrol anyway; and gas cylinders too often enough. People drive cylinders of gas around all the time. Now and again - oh my god! - they probably carry boxes of nails, bolts, tools or whatever in the same vehicle. (Aiee!)

Sometimes these fiends crash their cars, and sometimes the vehicles burn out. It's one of the costs of living in the industrial world; if people couldn't get fuel - portable energy - easily enough to have accidents with it, most of us would still be dirt-poor, illiterate, shovelling muck for a living and dying like flies from disease - rather than dying very rarely in car crashes or gas explosions.

This kind of event happens on the motorways almost every day, at least the petrol fires and often enough with the other hazards added. The roads get closed off as a result, sometimes for hours - just like the Haymarket did on Friday morning. It causes massive inconvenience to lots and lots of people.

But the perimeter is manned by firemen and traffic cops, not bomb teams and terror-feds. And so this weekend a minor news story - one injured in bunt-out car / suicide attempt causes travel chaos - becomes a big international media frenzy, a "test of the new Prime Minister's mettle," if you please.

It might be a test of ministerial mettle if thousands of British Muslims were burning cars every night, as has happened in France. But what we seem to have here is some foreigners burning just one car and failing to burn two more owing to almost unbelievable incompetence.

The mindset of a man who's willing to set himself on fire to make a point - as one of the Glasgow terror-clowns seems to have done - but not to spend any effort at all on researching methods is a difficult one to understand. Even if these jokers were illiterate or had no internet access (seems unlikely, one of the suspects is apparently a doctor) they could have at least done a test. In my part of town, fun-loving teenagers burn out a car or two down by the canal every week or so: nobody would notice another one with some nails in it.

They may not have blown anything up by themselves but they still got what they wanted International attention and people worrying.
