No one recalls because of it’s utter failure, but allow me remind how you all how novice some terror plots are. This is from memory.

In 2007 during the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, a few men rented a two cars, placed kegs of gasoline in the trunks next to boxes of nails. They were rigged with a cell phone as a detonator.

Car 1 was parked so poorly it was towed to an underground lot. No service. No “kaboom” (really it’d be a brief fireball and some warm nails, destroyed car…)

Car 2, seeing how poorly car 1 went, decided they would kamikaze into… The entrance(?) of Glasgow airport?

Except they detonated way too soon. Basically just lit the car they were driving on fire near an airport.

Iirc they were burned, and then arrested. Would have invited more terror by punching random babies.

Edit: there were 3 cars. 2 cars parked poorly. 1 towed. The other, an ambulance noticed smoke coming out of it, so they notified authorities who discovered the bomb and subsequently diffused it. The smoke was presumably from faulty wiring with the detonator.
