I found this still photo of the burning vehicle.
Maybe they accidentally put the Jihadie out while trying to contain the fire? Notice they are concentrating on the burning portion of the terminal, not the Jihadie Jeep.

U.S. law enforcement officials received intelligence reports two weeks ago warning of a possible terror attack in Glasgow against "airport infrastructure or aircraft," a senior US law enforcement officials tells the Blotter on ABCNews.com.
The intelligence reports also warned that airports and aircraft in the Czech Republic could be the targets of al Qaeda-connected terrorists.
The warnings were kept secret for operational reasons, according to officials. In public, the White House and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff have continued to maintain they know of no specific or credible threats involving the United States, even though the intelligence reports specify US aircraft as possible targets.
A US official told ABCNews.com that the intelligence reports led to the assignment of Federal Air Marshals to flights into and out of both Glasgow and Prague.
Air marshals had been added to flights into and out of Germany late last month, based on similar warnings.

Well yes, but due entirely to the incompetence of the bombers, not to any great intelligence coup. In London an ambulance crew saw vapors coming from one of the Mercedes, in Glasgow they just didn't quite hit it right, but they did conduct their attack.
I voted for Bush twice. I disagree with him completely from day one on immigration and later on spending and tying our troops’ hands in Iraq. We need a Patton or a McArthur, generals you may have to fire to rein them in. That’s another story, however.
I refrained from personal attacks on our President at the time of war. I couldn’t say what I really wanted to say out of respect to the Presidency but I said what I had to say against amnesty and the traitorous senators selling it and trying to shove it down our throats.
Do I fault anybody expressing himself/herself against the President? Never.
That said, I won’t let a far-left bastard get away with accusing our President of cowardice and allowing 3000 Americans to be slaughtered on our soil.
If I keep quiet then I must be a buddy of Michael Moore and that I’m certainly not.
“It’s total speculation, but from the trends and historical facts, it’s not aimless.”
There is no way you should even speculate about that. Absolute nonsense!
“I think the one being burned was screaming “Aloe, Aloe, Aloe!”
Too funny! I hope he’s still living and screaming those words!
Actually he died. But I bet he’ll be screaming for the Aloe for a long, loooooonnnnnnng time.
Actually, I believe that was the crispy critter passenger (I have not heard the fate of the one on fire who was subdued...).
DAMN, Bud! You got him zotted!
More precisely, cockney slang for “Me ****’s on fire.”
Where did Churchill spend the Blitz? Lincoln the War? Washington the war? Protocols indeed. He was safer than just about anyone that day, with fighter jets and surrounded by armed professionals. And Washington was hardly a hotzone by mid-afternoon. Planes were all on the ground. Hotzone indeed.
"Butane is a bastard fuel."
I agree, Bush is clearly in over his head. Anyone would be. He more than many others, perhaps, but probably less so than the vast majority of his critics.
He is nowhere as inept (except as a spokesman) as some would paint him. And he most certainly is not nefarious, devious or scheming. On the contrary.
For the elites who distain America and more specifically, ordinary Americans, exertions to perserve their lifestyle, freedoms, mores, habits and customs seem positively counter productive.
I suppose that Bush has a blind spot on immigration because he sees immigrants as just like ordinary Americans and as a Christian, as children of God. He lacks the life experiences of middle class Americans who grew up in a country where college students took Summer work as cabbies, hotel staff, gardeners and painters and their cousins, brothers and sisters could raise families on careers as carpenters, painters, or in other trades.
The elites, of course, see the immigrants as a counterbalance to ordinary Americans, a force they delude themselves they can manipulate (or at least ally themselves with) to impose there distopian schemes on an America that has rejected them.
Can you imagine Patton dealing with the traitorous scum in our midst? I don’t think it is Bush’s fault that these traitors will do anything to sandbag our efforts in Iraq/Afghanistan. I say let the military do their job, but you’re right. That’s another story.
I just wonder why the president has been so supportive of such a destructive amnesty program. It drives me nuts, sometimes. Here we have a president who is intelligent, has instituted tax cuts in the face of howling moonbat protests, and has been hanging tough on the war on terror, and doing his best to keep us safe. Why can he not see how destructive this amnesty bill really is? Working with Ted “the swimmer” is just crazy!
I voted for him as well. As far as shamnesty goes, I call BS.
Nice rant, some of which I agree with. What is totally wrong, though, is the idea that Bush had any foreknowledge of (or was involved in) the planning and execution of 9/11. That’s what I was responding to.
blah blah blah... Bush is a failure... blah blah blah... my pet goat... blah blah blah...
are you channeling Peter Jennings? you’re faulting the president for being kept secure when no one knew what the hell was going on that day. to continue to beat up on the president based on Michael Moore and truther conspiracy theories is truly a lame argument and unworthy of further comment.
I doubt there is anything more painful than a major burn injury.
Put him out and let him suffer. Much better than his dying.
And like the theory steel doesn’t melt, and Jorge blew up the World Trade Center, your statement reveals where you are coming from.
I didn’t like Bill Clinton, but I called him President Clinton, not Bubba.
Anytime I read someone calling our president Jorge I think of the 16 year olds that play over at DU.
I am very angry with President Bush on immigration issues, but calling our President Jorge Boosh is something an adolescent would do, or a DU troll with the brain of one.
Beats me! It's now time to keep the pressure on to demand building the fence and repeatedly ask the questions:
WHERE IS THE FENCE??
WHERE IS THE APPROPRIATED $1.2 BILLION TO BUILD THE FENCE??
HOW MANY MILES WERE BUILT? WHY NOT MORE?
HOW MANY MILES UNDER CONSTRUCTION?
DEFINE “UNDER CONSTRUCTION” WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE AND THE EXPENDITURE TO FINISH THE SAID UNDER CONSTRUCTION PORTION?
854 miles of fence are not equivalent to the 370 miles in the talking points. Math doesn't agree and you can't fool around with math the way you can fool around with English. The definition of the word "is" IS NOT in play in the "Fencewinsky" speak!
We have to sustain our effort and let the elites know that NOT ALL Americans' attention span is zero, rather, it's infinity if they like to talk math. We ‘ve got to hold their feet to the fire. It worked a few days ago and it’ll work again.
