What would have happened if this had happened in a US airport, compared to Glasgow, read on?

Eyewitness accounts:

American:"Oh my God! There was a man on fire, he was running about, I just ran for my life.. I thought I was gonna die, he got so close to me"

Glasgow "The **** wis running aboot on fire, so a ran up n gave him a good boot ,then decked him"

American :"I just wanna get home, away from here. I just wanna get home, I thought I was gonna die"

Glasgow: "Here shug, am no leaving here till am oan a f*ckin' plane!"

American :"There was pandemonium, people were running in all directions, we didn't know what was hap p ening, I thought I was gonna die"

Glasgow: "F*ck this fir a kerry oan, moan l'll get the pints in"

American: "We thought he was gonna blow us all up he had a gas canister, and was trying to get into his trunk, I thought we were gonna die, I just ran for my life"

Glasgow: "A swaggered by the motor that wis on fire,and the dafty couldnae even open his boot, he wis in fire annaw so a ran up an gave him a good boot in the haw maws"

American: There was this huge explosion, it sounded like war, I thought I was gonna die"

Glasgow: "There wis a bang, yi know when yi throw a BO basher intae a fire it wis like that"

American: "I'm too traumatized even to speak, I thought I was gonna die"

Glasgow "here mate, gies 2 minutes till a phone ma auld dear, if am gonna be oan the telly a want her tae tape it"


And finally, two quotes from an eye-witness.........John Smeaton (these are real)

John just surpassed himself on the National ITV news. The interviewer asked "What message do you have for the bombers" - he replied
"This is Glasgow we'll just set about you"

John did an interview on CNN and they asked how he restrained the guy and he said.
"Me and other folk were just trying to get the boot in and some other guy banjoed him"

A mate of mine just keeps flipping out about this one, he can't get past the thought that's running through his head, which is, that these people were intellegent, it's not like you could be a total dumbass and become a doctor.
So what the hell is it that makes someone who spent so much time studying and all that to then thing, hey I'm gunna go blow myself up?

I'd love to see what would happen if a failed suicide bomber was gotten hold of by a bunch of fair dinkum Aussies.

Ouch...
