Anyway, I now it was not bombs but 9/11 maybe should be considered when estimating the damages these Looneys have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21980 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't think the alleged bombs would have taken the plane down personally. And after the first one was detonated, you can bet none of the others would have been. Still that's what terrorism is about, disproportionate fear of death, used by terrorists and governments alike, and creating maximum chaos in the process.

It's hard to assemble a bomb on a plane without the element of surprise. I think there was a plot but it has been exaggerated and would have been difficult to pull off. We'll have to wait and see, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I made the same point as Jimbo over on N-O when Rob posted it there.

peasepud 59 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 using that same logic Ive managed to find this from the Japanese archives. Emperor, we've had word the Americans have atom bombs, Okaaaay, do me a study to see how many people killed so far right we've got it here 1939 - 0 killed 1940 - 0 killed 1941 - 0 killed 1942 - 1 bloke working on the project slipped on a stray molecule and died. 1943 - 0 killed 1944 - a herd of wildebeest and 3 blokes out camping in Nevada died in a test So thats 4 blokes and some livestock then? Ahhhh stupid American pigs, no threat there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how great that threat is is, frankly, something neither of us know anything about.

Meenzer 15716 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Flew to Hamburg on Friday morning and back again on Monday night and didn't get delayed or blown up or ANYTHING.

Mad-on-the-cocks 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Boy boards plane without tickets An investigation is under way into how a 12-year-old boy managed to board a plane at Gatwick without tickets during the security alert. The boy, reported to be from Penrith in Cumbria, but thought to have run away from a care home in Birkenhead, Merseyside, was heading to Lisbon. He was discovered on Monday's 0600 BST Monarch flight before it took off. Security officers and Sussex Police were informed after cabin crew found the boy on the plane. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4796199.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
