2 x 60'
Terror at the Terminal tells the definitive story of the 2007 terrorist conspiracy that targeted London’s West End and Glasgow Airport, through the testimony of those who investigated the plot, confronted the attackers, and led Britain’s response.
As the country reeled from the revelation that the 7/7 bombers were homegrown extremists, government, police and security services raced to confront a new threat. While they disrupted plots against airlines and transport networks, two men operating beneath the radar were preparing attacks designed to cause maximum civilian carnage.
The series traces this conspiracy, from its origins to the discovery of two car bombs in London, and the terrifying assault on Glasgow Airport the following day. Through testimony from investigators, politicians, airport workers, emergency services, and members of the public, this series examines events moment by moment, revealing how bravery, quick thinking, and good fortune prevented a far greater tragedy.
