Well, it certainly seems something was stopped, well, so we hope anyway. From what I can tell it was to involve some kind of liquid explosive hidden in a standard fizzy drinks bottle and detonated using some kind of electrical device disguised as a standard domestic electrical device. The entire UK airline industry has pretty much ground to a halt, but it seems that whatever was being planned has been stopped.
Our terror alert level has gone up to critical which means an attack could take place at any time (although officals stress they 'think' they have everything under control), and the US airport alert level has gone up to 'red' apparently.
