Glasgow airport v American Airports

Glasgow v America
If this had happened in a US airport, compared to Glasgow 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 gonna die, he got so close to
me"
Glasgow "Bawbag wis running aboot on fire, so a ran up n gave him a
good boot, then decked him"

America:" 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 *****in' plane!"

America:" there was pandemonium, people were running in all
directions, we didn't know what was happening thought i was gonna die"
Glasgow:"***** this fir a kerry oan, 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
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 n gave
him a good boot to the baws"

America: 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 BO basher intae a
fire it wis like that"

America:" I'm too traumatized even to speak, I thought i was gonna
die, i need to speak to my therapist"
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"

& 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 done an interview on CNN and they asked how he restrained the guy
and he said "me and other folk were just tryin to get the boot in and
some other guy banjoed him" !

Magic, sending this one round the office, plus one or two in the US who won't be offended.

email addresses and names have been removed



All

The person referred to below is now in Police custody for allegedly stating that he had a bomb in his bag during a routine bag security check at the CHC heliport earlier today. He will appear in court tomorrow morning and may end up (1) with a criminal conviction and (2) out of a job. The message is clear: don't do it! If you claim to have a bomb or similar in your baggage or on your person, you leave yourself open to these sorts of repercussions.

Kind regards

Dear all,

Please be advised that we've had an incident today where a passenger made a
flippant remark when answering security questions. CHC and Ace Aviation
have to take these situations seriously and follow security procedures. In
this case, the matter is now in the hands of the police.

Please remind all your passengers that we follow similar security
procedures as any UK airport and will therefore act accordingly to
information or actions given.

Kind regards

CHC Scotia

The last thing i heard about him he's had his airport pass removed for speaking to the press
he wont need it anymore.
no doubt because of his actions he will have a Saturday night chat show before long.
or perhaps a record deal, with songs on the first album that include...
1. don't come around here no more (or your getting banjo'd)
2. smoke on the water (fire in my jeep)
3. books from boxes (& dont forget to pack the BBQ gas)
4. smells like teen spirit (naw its just his hair burnin)
5. disco inferno (burn terrorist burn)
6. hands held high (coz yur busted)
7. eternal flame (put the fire extinguishire down Mr. Polis-man)
8. candle in the wind (deem et, da matchez av went oot)
9. no more sorrow (aye right, yer off tae the nick fur sum soap on a rope)

I can see clearly now. (the smoke has gone)
Too hot to handle.
