this e-mails been bouncing around scotland for a while now... was wonder what some american thoughts on it would be
If Saturday’s [30th June] incident had happened in a US airport, compared to Glasgow Airport
Eyewitness accounts.
America: "Oh my God! There was a man on fire, he was running about, I just ran for my life...I thought i was going to die, he got so close to me"
Glasgow: "C*nt wis running aboot on fire, so a ran up n gave him a good boot, then decked him"
America: "I just want to get home, away from here...I just want to get home, I thought I was going to die"
Glasgow: "Am no leaving here till am oan a f*ckin' plane!"
America: “there was pandemonium, people were running in all directions, we didn't know what hapening was; I thought I was going to die"
Glasgow: "F*ck this, moan we’ll get a pint in"
America: "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 going to die, I just ran for my life"
Glasgow: "a walked by the motor that wis on fire, and the dafty couldnae even open his boot, he wis in fire annaw so a ran up n gave him a good boot to the baws"
America: "I’m too traumatised even to speak, I thought I was going to die"
Glasgow: "here mate, gees 2 minutes till a phone ma auld dear, if am gonna be oan the telly a want her tae tape it"
& finally, two quotes from an eye-witness.........John Smeaton (these are real)
John has just surpassed his interview on the National ITV news.
ITV Interviewer asked: "What message do you have for the bombers"
John replied: … "This is Glasgow we'll set aboot yae"
John was interviewed yesterday on CNN
CNN Interviewer asked: “How did you manage to restrain the terrorist?”
John replied: … "Me and the other folk were just tryin 2 get the boot in and some other guy banjoed him”!
