I love it that the bystanders tackled the terrorist!

However, tourists and Londoners appeared largely unperturbed, going about their business as usual.

I've heard of stiff upper lip and all, but this appears to be a bit too ostrichy. I think I would be very wary of tooling around London. I worry about the Wimbledon crowds.

the vehicle, a Land Rover or a Jeep Cherokee, had exploded shortly after crashing into the glass front doors of the terminal,

Don't tell me that Glasgow airport has not installed those "tank trap" pylons in front of the doors yet!! Even Office Max in Texarkana, TX has them -- painted to resemble Crayolas...

That vehicle must really have been hosed -- if the Brits can't tell whether it was a Jeep or a Range Rover. (They are quite different...) If so, it is a wonder that the driver survived...

I suspect that in the first incident, the one with the two cars, the plan was to detonate the first car and then, when rescue workers were working the scene, detonate the second.

That was a close call.

This latest incident was probably a planned follow up.

Video of Michael Moore saying, "There is no terrorist threat." [you tube]

Car bombers need
1. nails (which can be obtained easily if they know someone in the roofing business);
2. propane canisters (which can be obtained from someone working at a convenience store);
3. cell phones (which can be obtained at a convenience store);
4. gasoline (which can be otained at some convenience stores);
5. a car or truck (which can be borrowed if you know the "right" person at a car rental place.)

I'm just sitting here wondering, what their cause is, and how crashing a burning car into an airport terminal will help it?

Because it seems to me, they are only reenforcing the public's concept that muslims are crazy wierdos. And as long as they are only killing each other, that is fine with me.
