flygcforum.com ✈ 2006 Airline Liquid Bomb Plot ✈ The Liquid Bomb Plot (Crime Documentary) - Real Stories ���� ✈ | Global Connections ✈ Flight Training, Aviation, Products, Services, Travel, Leisure, Education & World News ✈ | Scoop.it

The world’s largest and deadliest attack since 9/11.

flygc's insight:

The plot involved exploding devices disguised as soft drinks and, if it had succeeded, would have blown planes from the sky killing 2,000 people in a single night. The failed plan has changed the nature of UK air travel to this very day – with restrictions still in place on the amount of liquid passengers can carry.

This documentary commemorates the Battle of Britain, paying tribute to those who ended Nazi intentions of gaining control of the British skies. 13 Hours That Saved Britain explores the events of 15th September 1940, which Churchill described as the 'crux of the battle'. Dramatic colour film footage of aerial combat combined with contemporary interviews will illustrate that the events of seventy years ago still resonate.
