The Glasgow Story Is Morphing Into The Evacuated Hospital Story
really, they were just saying on MSNBC that they evacuated the Hospital where the burned guy from the 'terror' attack at the Glasgow aiport was taken.

This is MSNBC reporting from Sky News.
A small airport has also been evacuated.

2. I was ROTFL listening to one of the jackasses talking about
the airline bombers from last year who quicky and excitedly added alleged after spinning away this terra terra nonsense.

5. Um, maybe it really was just an ACCIDENT.
Maybe the car simply caught fire due to mechanical failure and they lost control of it.

7. oh ya--the first responders would`t have noticed an explosive belt
if he did have a belt, i`m sure the first thing the first responders would do is to make sure he`s driven to the hospital. are they really that stupid in scotland?

from the burning car. Wouldn't want that suicide vest to explode.

14. You do know who owns Sky News in the UK, right...
Rupert Murdoch.

Why is anyone surprised that they are playing this story this way?

I would suggest that maybe the BBC website would be the place to go for information on this incident in Glasgow.

17. This is an opportunity for ratings and making more money
and the media is going to play it for everything they can get out of it. Why do we continue to expect better?
