The media love it. They talk it up to a big deal. Hundreds would NOT have been killed. For a start, they DIDN'T get in and secondly, if they had, they most they would have done was bump into a few people who were too slow-witted to get out of the way. Then the stupid authorities shut the airport. It was just an SUV on fire. All that was needed was to catch the perpetrators, put the fire out, tow away the rubble, start rebuilding. Why shut the airport? Might as well shut Glasgow too. How wimpish. The authorities do far far more harm with their over-reactions and enjoyment of the power they have than is done by the actual attacks. The self-inflicted economic harm done by the USA authorities is far far greater than the Twin Towers destruction and Pentagon attack. A stupid little attack, not much more than a normal car crash, shuts down an airport and creates hysteria. Meanwhile, chunks of London were shut for similar pathetic reasons. Bring back the Blitz when men were men and people weren't pathetic. Mqurice
