With people dead and injured - the circus reference wasn't that obvious

Clarkson regularly postulates that trains would be a better target.

A bit strong. NAT is not that bad.

I don't understand why terrorists pick airports. There are far better pickings. The Paris attackers had a far more organized manager.

Has a more disruptive effect to shut down a national air hub?

Due to the title, the older thread merged into the new one. Otherwise more threads on the same subject will arise.

Belgian chap in the office isn't surprised. In his opinion it's due to 25-30 years of mismanagement - letting anyone in and letting them do what they like. That chap arrested had been walking around free for the past few months and nobody reported him to the authorities - he was only captured by chance.

Really? The bombers in London knew blowing up tube trains would be very effective.

Personally I would target some train stations and they wouldn't be terminals.

And that shut down the entire Tube (IIRC) - same principle. The Underground is a bit special anyway, though you're right that the underground aspect makes it particularly terrifying.

It's true. When will the world ever learn? Freedom can only end badly. These things don't happen in North Korea.

They're now saying 13 dead, so obviously it's going to be a lot more.

Evidence? Been there?

[NotAllThere]

These things don't happen in North Korea because the terrorists are in charge. They just put people in prison camps and murder them there.
