NorthernStar Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I had to read this twice and I'm truly bemused by the decision to locate high velocity surface to air missiles on the roof of an East London apartment block. Just to add insult to injury the occupants of these apartments will be host to the army and the police for the duration of the Olympics and their building landlord is trying to pass this off as 'great news'. How would you guys feel if you were living there and had to tolerate this imposition? Personally I'd be bloody furious, but from a distance this is pure comedy gold.

chem1st Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just wait till the local distillery blows up Won't they have to search all the resident flats and check them? I suppose it's better than a burglar alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be thrilled with a bunch of hairy arsed squaddies camping in my living room for 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matsalleh Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Are they planning to shoot aircraft down over London?Think of the damage an out of control aircraft could create,it could crash land anywhere.Missiles along the coast possibly. Even that would need a massive no fly zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotPhil Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Are they planning to shoot aircraft down over London?Think of the damage an out of control aircraft could create,it could crash land anywhere.I imagine the gamble is that smaller pieces of an aircraft potentially cause less damage than a whole aircraft into a packed stadium.
