Title: Looks like Britain dodged one yesterday
Post by: WLJ on November 15, 2021, 10:13:49 AM
Taxi driver got suspicious about a passenger in his cab heading to a veterans parade and took action. Turned out the guy had a bomb belt on.
Details are fluid at this point.

Edit: Forgot to add. The guy then went boom in the taxi

Should have used a Volkswagen.  I guess that wouldn't help the interior.

Locked the terrorist in the cab against his will?
HAs the driver been charged with kidnapping/false imprisonment yet?

How about a hate crime for stereotyping?

Too bad the taxi wasn't a Volkswagen.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnL-7x4n4d8&ab_channel=JohannesTripolt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnL-7x4n4d8&ab_channel=JohannesTripolt)

I understand that he's alive, but in serious condition in the hospital.

At 0:33 you can see the driver get out of the taxi. Yeah, he was in the taxi when it went off.

Not much of a bomb.  If the car was a VW, it would have been fine.
