There has also been a controlled explosion at Ibiza Airport (Possibly the ETA).
Never been to Glasgow airport - Is it easy to drive into the terminal or would it have to be deliberate?

Apparently a Cherokee jeep was driven through the glass frontage, and a guy got out on fire
Sounds like he had a lucky escape. If it had happened tomorrow he'd be facing prosecution for smoking inside a public building.

I did laugh at first but early indications are this was a deliberate act, lets hope casualties are at a minimum

One report says that two cars may have crashed, one catching fire and crashing into terminal.

A car on fire has been driven at the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport, police have confirmed.
Eyewitnesses have described a Jeep Cherokee being driven at speed towards the building with flames coming out from underneath.
They have also described seeing two Asian men, one of whom was on fire, who had been in the car.
The airport has been evacuated and all flights suspended following the incident.
One eyewitness said: "I heard the sound of a car's wheels spinning and smoke smoke coming out.
"I saw a Jeep Cherokee apparently as if it was trying to get right through the doors into the terminal building.
"There were flames coming out from underneath then some men appeared from in amongst the flames.
"The police ran over and the people started fighting with the police. I then heard what sounded like an explosion."

"Failed" is a relative term. It could be described as another nail in the coffin of British tourism, with long term financial implications.

It does have a massive effect on the tourist industry when this happens as people will not travel.
I went to Marmaris last October and they had a bomb in August and it was like a ghost town sadly which is a terrible tragedy for a fantastic holiday resort.

Neither would I. The Lake District is far enough for most people.

The worst ones for living in fear and not travelling are Americans of which the majority of attacks are normally linked to the wars they have started - where is the justice in that ?
They are now saying that there was a collision between 2 cars and the guys in the cherokee were deliberately torching it by throwing petrol all around.
I'm wondereing whether the Jeep was being followed by police, and it was deliberately rammed, the occupants then tried to destroy it.
