Glastonbury and Terrorism

[___S_o_m_a__]

For about a minute, I quickly grappled him to the ground and searched him from head to toe !

I'm talking bollox !

Was a serious question but rather ludicrous in real life

[LondonTom]

Its ok, we will have brought freedom to Iran by next Glastonbury...and then there will be no more terrorists.

If he'd played the Sunday I'd have been there in a flash, taps aff.

Stonking version of Let's Stick Together on the iPlayer for you, chief.

How interesting it must be to see the world in such a black and white fashion.

[russycarps]

Meh, terrorism is pretty low on the scale of things likely to kill you, based on the numbers. And airport security is just security theatre, it'd be very very easy to bring a bomb into the main area of an airport, with far more casualties/disruption possible.

Every year I think about how many people would die if a jumbo jet landed at the back of the Pyramid Field and slid all the way through the crowd and crashed into the stage.

^{Whilst terrorists have been getting closer to festivals with the intentions of creating terror in night clubs and football grounds I am not sure a field in Somerset would create the same world wide impact.}

But imagine being the one getting up on the top and surfing it in the style of Styles from Teen Wolf.

A couple of years ago there was a trial where terrorists had tried to blow up Ministry of Sound in London I think it was . They parked a mercedes outside of it , but had not set the device properly

it wasn't ministry. Can't remember what it was called.

So far, "Islamic terrorists" have gone for entertainment venues less than both sides in N.Ireland did.... much MUCH less.

There was also a "foiled attempt" on a United Liverpool game at old trafford a few years ago. But if i remember rightly there was actually no evidence they were going to do it.

[Ruwise]

Highly unlikely a ridiculous political target to do something to a bunch of liberals who generally see the world different to mainstream media in the first place and besides who'd do something like that to Michael Eavis' land, a nicer more genuine and tolerant man would be hard to find.

[glenman]

anyone stupid enough to plan an attack on Glastonbury wouldn't have the brains to get through ticket day, they would probably end up blowing up their computer up with the frustration!

but i think its highly, highly unlikely, but i like your outside of the box question, were not gonna be stuck for conversation over the next few moths by the looks of things!

[glenman]

[russycarps]

It was Ministry - http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/may/26/topstories3.terrorism

Just shows that stopping up at Stone Circle till 6.00 am on Monday and then driving one hippy back to Yorkshire a few hours later has not addled my brain !!!

My mother had this very thought on Wednesday after we had pitched up.
