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. 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.
