So what was in the suit case ?

This incident was over in 1.5 hours. Yet on the M6 it took 4 hours.

Oh the m4 incident. It is so obvious they used that incident as a practice run. And good on them. It could have been such a different out come if they hadn't.

No the M6 not the M4.

Maybe, it was surprising the number of specialist police happened to be in the area.

It could have been such a different out come if they hadn't....... What the coach getting to it's destination on time.

2001, terrorists hijack planes. 2012, terrorists hijack a Megabus on the M6 toll, this recession is hitting hard

Was it staged? Who knows.
