Also bomb found at Ibiza airport.

Both Ibiza and Glasgow airports now closed.

It looks awful, hope none of our fellow disers are there today.

There's reports of a gas cylinder in the jeep too.

Scary times.

we are watching on BBC News 24. Just said it could be terrorists or someone whos car was on fire and the quickest thing was to "drive into the airport" As if Hope everyone is ok in the airport

This will probably mean more draconian measures at the airports, i.e. no picking up or setting down passengers at the terminals at a guess.

Oh my god I am so shocked. Its all kicking off this weekend. I know its 7th July soon, but why this weekend? Not that I am saying we should have any terrorism, but would like to know why?

Its really worrying - I'm already nervous about flying on the 17th to Paris and then we are going to London the weekend after we get back from Paris, which really worries me. Why does the world have to put up with this sort if thing - it is infuriating ! Hopefully no one will be hurt in whatever is happening today.

Just been reported that people are sat on planes and not going to be let off until 9.00pm tonight as the terminal is closed.

Culmination of things, 4th July weekend, ETA have broken the truce with the Spanish authorities, anniversary of 7th July coming up, Brown new leader of the country....

Yes this is the case at the two airports in Belfast at the moment.

 

[scottishsue]

This is terrible, hope everyone is ok at the airport.

 

[Tartan Tigger]

I'm due to fly to Orlando from Glasgow tomorrow morning. I expect delays.

 

[tennisfan]

There is never a good reason for terrorism. I think it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Hope everyone is ok.

 

[Groovee]

We're due to fly on Thursday. Going to be feeling very nervous.

 

[tashasmum]

After this security will be stepped up at the airports, so I wouldn't worry might slow things down with the extra measures.

Unconfirmed report of an explosion at Heathrow now

 

[Groovee]

I suppose we'll have to wait and see what happens. I flew just after the liquids thing last year but it took me over 2 hours to get through secuirty as they were being so cautious.

Unconfirmed report of an explosion at Heathrow now

BBCnew 24 just said that it's not a explosion but it's just a fire.
