Far Too Close

rhythmaningI met up with a couple of friends for dinner last night.
We'd spoken on the phone on Monday, when they said they were in town. They were meant to be flying to Canada for their holiday last Saturday, from Glasgow, and their flight had been cancelled because of all the kerfuffle. Other than being sorry they were missing a week of their holiday, I thought no more of it.
Last night I learned that they and their two children were actually in Glasgow airport when two guys tried to blow up their car.
Not only were they there; they saw it happen. If the attack had been "successful", they would all have been killed.
I was stunned and angry. They were so close.
I think I am still rather shocked.
