Worst attack on an Irish airport in history

[ríomhaire]

The man produced a knife to a garda who stopped him on Patrick St in Cork city centre at around 4.30pm.

He slashed the garda across the face, hijacked his garda jeep and drove off[...]

He drove [...] up to Cork Airport, crashing through the security fence at the old terminal.

The man then hijacked a Airport Emergency vehicle after he produced a knife to the driver.

[...]

He was making his way towards an Aer Lingus plane which was boarding at the time when his vehicle broke down.

That would be awesome fun... not the slashing but the driving around an airport tarmac.

I dunno whether to laugh at this or not. What is this shit.

So this is what they do in Ireland while they're busy being irrelevant to the rest of the world? I always wondered...

We just haven't launched our master plan yet

I'll never forget where I was when I heard about 22/5

Edit: Or should that be 5/22?

Man, they're lucky he didn't get away after his vehicle broke down. There was not nearly enough officers around to properly corner him.

The worrying thing is, it took that many officers and more a pretty long time to corner him. The Garda Síochána aren't known for their efficiency. They aren't really known for anything much.

"produced a knife"? did he build a knife right there in seconds?

The garda who was slashed in the face is described as being in a stable condition at Cork University Hospital.

The garda described his own condition as "I GOT SLASHED ON MY ****ING FACE!! DID YOU HEAR ME?! MY FACE! F***!!"

Get serious, Ireland.

Man this guy produced a lot of knives. Was his jacket full of raw materials?

 

[MJ12]

The Irish have 22 months? Weird.

The fifth of Vilmtember is a day that will live in infamy.

Not known at all really... I had no idea what they were!

 

[Remus]

LOL, this was like GTA in real life.

Also, you think you got enough guys and cars there to catch one guy? Maybe add some more.

 

[kazsymonds]

The only thing missing is this guy's fat cousin ringing him up all the time wanting to go bowling.

Busted!

This fits so well.

 

[ríomhaire]

Apparently the guy just wanted to commit suicide by cop. Bet he was pretty disappointed when they tasered him.

 

[StardogChampion]

This is actually 008. He's not as good as 007.
