So at the airport this morning...

You need a flip of a lot of explosive to reliably blow up a bridge or a power station though, and that makes storage and transport more tricky.

Stolen lorry dumped across the railway line?
Big bag of thermite on a suspension bridge anchorage?

Hang on, there's a knock at the door ...

Do you?

even if you only dent it the bridge will be closed for weeks for safety checks.

Strikes me if they truly wanted to cause mayhem then they could do it, look at Afghanistan & the IRA. From my limited understanding IED's seem fairly simple to produce.

Pylons & telegraph posts are also very easy targets in this age of battery powered grinders & chainsaws. IMHO -oops £chelon will love me.


I have the horrible feeling its like climate change there is a lot of money to be made and it keeps the proles under control.

I hate sentences that start with the word "so".

Yes - Didn't the IRA target Hammersmith Bridge, more than once actually?

And I seem to recall it was closed for quite some time a few years ago. But whether that was a direct result of the bombing or just for overdue repairs I don't recall.
