You know the amusing part of the Glasgow accident

[malaise]

is that BBC has no live coverage but CNN and MSNBC have live coverage.

[Eurobabe]

1. I noticed that too. Slow news day in the US.

Just to scare the 'Murican masses.

[malaise]

2. I suspect it's more about pushing fear

for a desperate Bushco as people get ready to enjoy the holiday week coming up.

3. Ya think?

4. What I think is funny is that the BFEE can't even find competent suiciders to do their bidding.

fricken keystone cops.

5. But there are FLAMES!!

And Cheney had a really bad week :)

6. They set cars on fire. It's happened there before. But the U.S. media reported a major terror plot

to kill hundreds was thwarted. The idiot wannabe terrorists (probably misguided adolescents who stole the cars) think that the cars will blow up, like in the movies, if they are set on fire. But on this one, the U.S. media took the reporting of this incident too far. They are nothing but right wing alarmists and no better than tabloid truthiness.

9. Meanwhile several civilians wre blasted to the afterlife

in both Iraq and Afghanistan today by US and allied forces but that is not on the news. Something's up unless this is a special reception for the Scottish Prime Minister.

7. Faux News reporters are breathless with excitement

:eyes:

8. I noticed.

Quivering with joy.

10. where were they during the many other London bombings?

Such as the many IRA bombings over the years.

And what the nail bomb attacks against ethnic minorities and gay people in London which killed three people and injured over 160 in April 1999?!

The U.S. media didn't seem to care about those bombings that actually killed and maimed people.

11. Don't know about this can you tell me where to look, thanks.

12. Here's a link to a report on the nail bomb

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/05/99/the_nail_bomb_terror/333574.stm


Copeland was eventually convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.

There were IRA bombs in London and in other parts of the UK over a long period, from the 1970s through 1990s.

Here is a link to London's 'explosive history', including air raids and terrorist bombs.

15. Could it be the Racist group called White Wolves? They're here in U.S. also.

Thanks for the info. Here's an article I found that makes me want to know if our government is keeping an eye on them since they seem to have the potential to become home grown terrorists. http://www.adl.org/learn/news/White_Wolves.asp

16. Here are some links to past bombings in London

13. Do you have actual BBC or BBC America?

The programming on the two is completely different.

14. The next terror weapon: The Millwall Brick

OY!

17. The British likely wouldn't interrupt Coronation Street if they got nuked

As others have pointed out, they've been around the block with this sort of thing enough not to go all paralyzed every time someone dents a mailbox or whatever. It's a Bad Thing, not The End Of All Civilization, and that's about it.

18. Glasgow must have the world's worst fire department..

They keep showing the same footage without a "recorded eralier" tag..:)
