This guy is not only a riot, he's a good egg to boot... The baggage handler who tackled terrorists
BAA worker John Smeaton told reporters how he had helped a police officer to restrain the suspects after a burning Jeep Cherokee, which was doused in petrol and packed with gas cylinders, crashed through the window of the departures lounge on Saturday.
...
Demonstrating the "have-a-go" attitude typical of Glaswegians, Mr Smeaton continued: "Glasgow doesnae accept this, if you come tae Glasgow, we'll set about you."
How fantastic is THAT?! He is deservedly rising to a sort of stardom, too. Check the tribute blog and the YouTube action.
My favorite quite from the (less excited) CNN footage:
"He's a behg boy and no' for bein' shubdude."
It does me proud (as someone who claims Scottish heritage).
(Thanks, Garret!)
