Wow, just wow!

It took eight heavily armed men only five minutes to drive two ersatz police vans through a hole in the perimeter fence of the Brussels Airport and onto the runway, lights flashing, where they then pried open the hold of a passenger aircraft headed to Switzerland, unloaded about 120 packages holding at least $50 million worth of polished and uncut diamonds, and sped off into diamond-heist infamy (http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2013-02-19/multimillion-dollar-diamond-heist-in-brussels). No shots were fired, and the entire operation was over so quickly, the passengers on the aircraft had no idea anything was wrong until their flight was abruptly canceled

It was a very well planned event and they did it without killing or injuring anyone. I have to admire the planning and be astonished at the lack of security.

Another diamond robbery, this time in Paris! Wonder if they are connected?
