On the news yesterday it said the insurance company that's covering the 2002 World cup has pulled out because they won't be able to afford the cost of the damages if Terrorits attack the World Cup. So now the plan from what i've heard, is to find an insurace company that's willing to cover it. I think just the thought of attacks has put the World Cup in Doubt!
So does this mean no world cup?
:( :( :( Damn it!

I saw it on TV on Friday evening, but i was to knackered to take any of it in.

I bet someone else will insure it though.

What if the terrorits attack the UK? I'd be worryed then!

The only place that would get attacked would be London. But it won't.

They could attack Manchester or Birmingham (or Sellafield) or somewhere where they are not expecting it!
If the WC does take place the likely thing that will happen will be a huge military security!

Why attack Birmingham, or Manchester when you can attack London, with a far larger population than them both put together. Sellafield is a very good point. That could completly **** up the country......

They probably wouldn't have the ability to cause something major in London cause of the security so they go for another city. Sellafield would **** up the hole of Europe if hit. It is just 30miles from Dublin which is where I live so I would be ****ed!

AXA may have pulled out of insuring the World Cup, but Fifa have said that there are more than 5 others lining up to take their place. So theres no chance of it being called off.

By the way the Korean and Japanese Govt. have said NO FLY ZONES over all WC stadiums.

haha

How are they going to enforce a no-flyzone if a hijaker takes over the plane?

Shoot them down and put up huge nets to catch the planes when they fly into the grounds :D Would have to be damn big nets too.
