[Joe =/]

That is fucking terrifying. I watched the video of it happening, horrible.

[Spectre]

yeh i saw the video , horrible, but did they say how it collapsed

[Fozy]

They made it shitty, or don walked on it are my two guesses.

[The Don]

They were doing maintenance on it and me and my buddy thing with the roads being closed so weird it added too much stress to it.

Not to mention it's mostly steel under it so if one peice got compromised by something the whole thing would have gave in.

It's something you'd only expect to happen in London!

Don't be silly. We know to build our bridges safe, our skyscrapers not too high, and how to react efficiently in terror situations.

[scoot]

yep yep, shoot the suspects on site.

[Fozy]

a whole one time that happened scoot. you're missing martin's point. we were shocked, gt over it, rebuilt. america, however, still are acting like morons over it.

yep yep, shoot the suspects on site.

One dead Brazillian is hardly more atrocious than the thousands that could have died if he were a real bomber. I am all for "shoot to kill" in these situations, and I hope it continues.

I am also certain that the Brazillian was an absolute idiot for running from the police a day after the 7/7 bombings. If he had done nothing wrong, he would have had no reason to run. End of story.

I was actually just making a comment regarding the nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling Down".

Ah.

agreed, what i said might have sounded sarcastic, but i am more for shoot to kill, its better to take one life than to risk thousands, as you stated.
