sounds similar to the stampede at jfk last year (where the "gunshots" turned out to be people celebrating usain bolt winning the 100m on tv)

A high voltage dead short doesn't half make a terrifying flash and bang and these are nervous times, fair enough. But these irresponsible fuckwits need shutting down for good.

The Daily Mail article quoted a tweet from 10 days ago as breaking news.
This is why the Daily Mail is full of rubbish. The article (now deleted) stating there was a lorry attack at Oxford Circus using a tweet from 10 days ago as evidence...🤐 pic.twitter.com/Sji0olu4kE— Ali (@TvvitterGod1) November 24, 2017

They should have been prosecuted long before now for hate speech but this is somehow a new low. And lest we forget our PM is going to their brown-nosing parties to suck up to them!

a really close friend of mine who lives in Germany was visiting London for one single day and got caught up in this, what are the chances? He spent an hour hiding under a table in complete darkness and is really shaken up.

Even though it was nothing, it's a combination of annoying thread policing, being a dick towards the original poster and wise-after-the-fact, wake-up sheeple bollocks.

Soon after I posted it to this thread I regretted it. For the sole reason that it was too soon to determine which thread it should go in, ie. nothing was sure yet. And I don't want to be one of "those guys", y'know like the DM crying wolf and using every rumor for their own sick agenda. I'm not one of those guys but prob played into it, idk.
We need a 'Rolling something's up but we don't know yet if it fits in the rolling London or trrsm thread thread'

A dark green Jeep Cherokee, registration number L808 RDT,[16] travelling at a speed estimated by a witness as about 30 mph[17] (48 km/h), struck security bollards in a terror ramming attack at the main entrance to Glasgow Airport.[2] The vehicle was reported to have several petrol containers and propane gas canisters on board. One eyewitness said flames issued from beneath the car when it hit the building, while another eyewitness said it appeared the driver was trying to drive through the terminal doors. According to reports, the car was occupied by two "Asian-looking" men.[18] When the Jeep failed to explode, one man (later identified as Abdulla) threw petrol bombs from the passenger seat and the other (Ahmed) doused himself in petrol and set it alight.[6] Police indicated the vehicle burst into flames when it was driven at the terminal.[19] An eyewitness noted that a man got out of the car and began to fight with police.[20] Another eyewitness said that the man was throwing punches and repeatedly shouting "Allah".[21][22][23] The man was arrested and later identified as Bilal Abdulla, a UK-born doctor of Iraqi descent who was working at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Another man exited the car and ran into the terminal building while he was on fire and began writhing on the ground, before being kicked in the testicles by an airport employee, John Smeaton,[24] who was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his heroism.

kicking someone in the bollocks while they writhing about on the deck, on fire, seems a strange definition of gallantry to say the least.

not seen such gallantry since this local "legend" known as Marbles was having a piss with one hand resting on an electric cement mixer, his brother thought he was being electrocuted and decided the best action would be to smash him hard in the back of the head with a shovel, to separate him from the device. He was never the same after that and started speaking in tongues and getting arrested for exposing himself to pensioners, which is a form of terror attack - so fair to say he was radicalised in some way!

Another layer to the smeato story is that there was another civilian, a taxi driver if I remember correctly, who intervened, did more, was injured, but was ignored by the press. Smeato came to prominence based on the TV interviews in the immediate aftermath which ended up on tv globally.
