America “Oh my God! there was a man on fire,he was running about,I just ran for my life.I thought i was gonna die,he got so close to me" Glasgow “twat wis running aboot on fire,so a ran up n gave him a good boot, then decked him" America “I just wanna get home,away from here.I just wanna get home,I thought I was gonna die" Glasgow “Here shug,am no leaving here till am oan a ******* plane!" America "there was pandemonium,people were running in all directions,we didn't know what was happening,I thought I was gonna die" Glasgow "**** this fir a kerry oan,moan we’ll get a pint in” America “We thought he was gonna blow us all up he had a gas canister,and was trying to get into his trunk,I thought we were gonna die,I just ran for my life" Glasgow "a swaggered by the motor that wis on fire,and the dafty couldnae even open his boot,he wis in fire annaw so a ran up n gave him a good boot to the baws" America “there was this huge explosion,it sounded like war,i thought i was gonna die" Glasgow "There wis a bang,yi know when yi throw BO basher intae a fire it wis like that" America "i'm too traumatised even to speak,I thought I was gonna die" Glasgow "here mate,gies 2 minutes till a phone ma auld dear,if am gonna be oan the telly a want her tae tape it" Finally, two quotes from an eye-witness.........John Smeaton (these are real) John just surpassed himself on the National ITV news. The interviewer asked "What message do you have for the bombers" - he replied "This is Glasgow we'll just set about you" John did an interview on CNN and they asked how he restrained the guy and he said "me and other folk were just tryin 2 get the boot in and some other guy banjoed him" !

Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Update: johnsmeaton.com is melting the internet - apologies for the problems Over 1,000 pints are paid for and metaphorically lined up, on the bar at the Glasgow Airport Holiday Inn, with John Smeaton’s name on them.. As at this very moment, 1729 hours BST, in the Paypal account are the names of one thousand and thirty five people who have paid their dues to Smeato. It’s going to be a Hell of a night, and we’re going to need a big bar for everyone who has put their money where their mouth is (and John’s feet were). John will be thirsty no more.

themags 0 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 come on people get it signed The signatories to this petition demand that John Smeaton be awarded a knighthood or an equally appropriate award of bravery for his actions in preventing the serious loss of life at Glasgow Airport on 30 June 2007. John Smeaton is a man who, in the face of terrorism of an international scale, put aside concerns for his own personal safety to protect the lives of his fellow man. On 30 June 2007, he tackled a terrorist in the midst of carrying out an attack on Glasgow Airport, intent on causing serious loss of life. But for the brave and selfless actions of Mr Smeaton, nobody was harmed and human life was preserved. This is a man whose actions truly deserve to be recognised and the signatories to this petition believe he should be honoured in the most appropriate way deemed possible. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/JohnSmeaton/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46023 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I know it's not serious, you spanner, but I bet there's loads of gimps signing it in the belief that they've actually got a chance.
