If there is a genuine need?..... I would have thought perhaps the rooftops of accommodation designated for the Olympic committee would seem a more appropriate and less controversial location…….!.

Selfish bunch. Imagine if they were needed and the idea had been scrapped because people didn't want the inconvenience of having soldiers on the roof.

I'm sure the guys providing 24/7 security would much rather be somewhere else.

Security is everywhere and it's there for the publics benefit.

and what about the snipers in helicopters!! they are to shoot the pilots of light aeroplanes who attempt to cross stadium air space and dont respond to orders to turn back! has anyone else not noticed the flaw in this plan? the plane is obviously going to come down in a urban area is it not!

Luckily I live in a village.

I seriously doubt that any of the more extreme security measures will be used. I do think it is necessary to take every precaution to protect people and also to act as a deterrant.

I stand by the fact that the loss of one life to prevent the loss of 2, 3, or 100 lives is justified. Your lucky enough not to have to make that decision because there are people there to take on the responsibility.

It's like drivers swerving to avoid a rabbit and smashing up an oncoming vehicle instead. Looking back, would running the rabbit over have been the best course of action?

erm, your MEANT to run the animal over rather than avoid it and cause a crash! it took me 15mins to hit a badger last time i saw one on the road! the bastard kept running away and dodging me!! but apart from that, ANY loss of life is a tragedy!

Even with missiles placed on top of tower blocks i bet the local gang members will still have more weapons than the security forces.Essentially, the Olympics is another money-making scam and to identify us in the world of terrorism. What a great load of wasted space, time and money.

So I guess the fact it will now be common knowledge amongst wouldbe terrorists that significant air defences are being allocated to defending London’s skies during the games, It might just act as a deterrent for anyone considering posing a threat via such means…… thus rendering the controversial debate about the proposed locations of these missile defences as a very effective publicity campaign which was designed to hit its target audience bang-on the button...... !!!

Impressive direct-hit, I'd say

this so called plan wouldnt work anyway!!! a jumbo jet travelling at 500mph doesnt just stop dead in mid-air if its hit by a rocket! it keeps going due to size and impetus!! so by the time it reached the rocket defences it would be a moot point anyway!

Is there not a huge no fly zone for miles around the stadium anyway?

And as was witnessed at the boat race, it'll be the events away from the main site where the risk is highest.

Try reading the news papers instead. Eurofighetrs went supersonic over the Midlands responding to a helicopter broadcasting on the wrong frequency.

Do you actually have a knowledge of the subject or are you just repeating what you've heard or making stuff up?

I should have added that they are always part of our air defences not just during the Olympics.

As we are in partnership with other NATO countries we just deploy short range ones when we go to war.

Taken from the news article....

An MoD spokesman said: "As announced before Christmas, ground-based air defence systems could be deployed as part of a multi-layered air security plan for the Olympics, including fast jets and helicopters, which will protect the skies over London during the Games."

The air defence system used here will probably be the Rapier, airlifted into place, effective range (depending on target, weather etc) is between 10 and 20km. Although primarily designed for use against military supersonic aircraft, it can be used against anything that flies, and even some ground targets.

Its unlikely that they will use man-portable units (shoulder or prone position launched), as the risk of misfires, incorrect target aquisition and plain old "user error" are too high.

I don't know why anyone would think that there will be a no fly zone over London during the Olympics. Most flights from Europe to Heathrow follow the Thames and fly the breadth of Central London and London city Airport is on the doorstep of the stadium. London'e sky is always full of planes. It's not gonna be any different during the games

lol, glad you see it my way! but seriously, that has has been my point this whole time! the first line of defence is over the water, 2nd is over unpopulated areas! if anything gets thru then its the rooftop batteries and helos turn! which was my point to start with! not feckin air battles over the centre of london! that would be bad for nxt time england want to host the world cup wouldnt it?

We cant possibly impose cast-iron defences against all potential acts of terrorism, but we can provide reasonable deterrents that still allow society to function with some degree of normality, however it seems incredulous that we have people presenting arguments dismissing those efforts as being ineffective or irrelevant simply because our plans might contain abstract anomalies ……

I for one prefer to place my trust in the combined experience and expertise of those people specially trained to manage these situation rather than listen to the defeatist attitude of people who seem to display an attitude almost suggesting they'd like to see our defences fail just to prove their point …….!....... no joke !

Isaac, you are blurring the boundary between a cleric who knows how to manipulate the law and stopping terrists in the act of committing terrorist atrocities. It's far easier to shoot down a small plane packed with explosives and worry about the fall out later than it is to break EU law and kick out an undesirable because we want to. The ramifications of that are much greater than Mr Cameron standing up in the House of Commons and saying, "We blew them out of the sky because they were about to kill hundreds of innocent people."

I doubt it will ever come to that but the threat has to be taken seriously and prepared for. Ask yourself this: Would the U.S. have shot down those planes if they'd known they were going to be slammed into buildings and kill thousands of people?

You can bet your life they would have.

fact is he is not nor has he ever been simply a cleric he is a fully fledged known member of alqida with blood on his hands if our government was serious on the war on terror well wouldnt it be in the interest of our countries national security to deport him regardless of his human rights aint like the government aint ever thrown the rule book out the window on odd occassion is it .. he dint give much thought to the human rights of his victims did he.

whilst our government allows this al qaida terrorist to stay in our country at the expense of us the tapayer then sorry but i simply cant take the governments claim to protect us from the war on terror seriously ... wot happens if he masterminds or is implicit in a july 14 type bombing in the future hundreds killed but hey least we dint infinge on his human rights to kill us.

So if you thought someone was a suicide bomber where would you shoot him? In the chest where the explosives are? In both his hands where a trigger may be? In the foot to piss him off?

think your missing the point the person shot dead by the police jean de mendies wasnt a terrorist ..he was an innocent brazillian student shot dead by the police because they ..THOUGHT he was a terrorist. I take it if a member of your family was shot dead by the police because they thought they were a terrorist you would be fine with the police actions at the time becausae although your mother father brother sister wasnt a terrorist the police thought he was and deemed it ok to shoot him dead.

JEAN DE MENEZES was a man of latino appearance, an appearance that is easily mistaken for arabic (seeing as the Moors were north african and invaded most of lower Europe including Spain, who then colonised South America), and this 'arabic' looking man decided to run when ordered to stop by the police, with a backpack on his back and he headed for Stockwell Tube station two weeks after the July 7 bombings of London transport and only a day after another failed attempt to bomb London.

He was mistakenly identified as one of the bombers but as the police believed he was a suspect at the time they had no option but to shoot to kill.

If only he had stopped when ordered. He'd still be alive. Back home in Brazil, but he'd be alive.

It would be interesting to hear what makes you more qualified to talk about the subject.

It's nice to know that you would give people the benefit of the doubt, unfortunately a firearms officer doesn't have that luxury. If someone's pattern of behaviour and actions lead the officer to believe that there is a threat to his life or a threat to someone else's choice then he is entitled to use whatever force is necessary. When dealing with a suspected suicide bomber who you believe to be in possession of an explosive device then there really is only one option.

So what course of action would you advocate?

The police said he ran when ordered to stop but the facts later emerged from members of the public at the time who witnessed the killing that at the time he was sat on a tube train ..ordered by the police to stand up ..which he did ..and then shot dead in front of commuters on the tube. This was later found to be the truth however the murderers sorry police officers were not tried for the murder unlawfull killing of jean demenzies because they were simply following orders from there superiors

To date nobody was put on trial for the unlawfull killing of the man. The family seeking justice just hit a brick wall when trying to get some sort of justice for there sons killing only to be hit with a whitewash....however they later took there case to the european court who did in fact find in favour of the family in the fact that there son was indeed unlawfully killed. leading to the family recieveing a large substanstial payment by means of settlement by the british government.

In terms of the war on terror and our people doing a sterling job in allowing us to sleep soundly in our beds on this occassion they were given bogus information on known terrorists address this intellegenge was wrong as the suspected terrorist had long gone and the person living at the address was jean demendies they put the address under survellience followed him to the tube station ..The rest is history.

I see you point out the innocent man was of arabic appearence are you saying because of this he was a possible..likely terrorist suspect?

In terms of war on terror and keeping us safe the intellegence on suspects has to be checked and cross checked and cross checked some more prior to shooting that person dead the police are not the law they are servants of the law there job is to uphold it not as on this occassion to act as judge jury and ...executioner...also stricter border controls needs to be in place although granted a lot of said terrorists are uk nationals but border control would discover there movements such as trips to training camps etc and therefore provide better intel on genuine terrorist suspects

well were all entitled to our opinions if certain people were in charge of our security then there would be a hell of a lot of people being shot dead by the police ....simply because they were of arabic appearence lots of people have ran from the police when they havent done anything wrong usually illegal immigrants granted i guess there commiting the offence of being in this country illegally but correct me if ime wrong here you would thinnk it ok to shoot dead that illegal immigrant simply because he runs from the police and is of arabic appearence as this seems to be what your saying in your posts.

Yes we are all entitled to post but your earlier post suggested denying that right to some.

As for answering your latest knee-jerk reactionary rambling: No, of course illegal immigrants shouldn't be shot just for running away from the police (although in America I'd think twice about running away from a policeman with a gun), but in Menezes case, he must have known about the bombings in London just two weeks before and he should have thought it a tad foolhardy running away from the police in such a sensitive time period.

The UK govt (or MI5, security services) know that one terrorist attrocity can be quickly followed by another in they are not vigillant, and London was on full alert in the summer of 2005, much the same as it will be this Summer too, so I'll give some good advice to anyone who thinks of running from the police if they shout 'Stop' - er... stop.

ignorance is bliss yet again ay ...he didnt run from the police this statement from the officers on the scene was later proved to be false by members of the public fellow commuters who witnessed the killing and said so which was later leaked into the public domain from someone in the independant police complaints authority ..they said he did not tun he was sat down on a tube and ordered to stand to which he did and then shot dead.

This was upheld by the europen courts resulting in the british government making a substantial payment to the demenzies family ...an addmission of guilt by the british government in itself dont you think.

you say i ramble maybe i do but i dont condone shooting people dead simply because a person might look of arabic appearence and as you say run from the police,, which he never actually did.

The idea of announcing the location of missile launching sites is stupid , end of , they dont need to be on residential roofs , thats a place to spot your 'OBSERVERES' , the whole point of using a missile launcher is to shoot something down , they need to be mobile , and sited in safely secured areas that have been prepaired and controlled ,and away from the public , so that their arc of fire can be versatile , and a hit can be plotted to a very limited drop area , they are 'SURFACE ,'i repeat SURFACE ' to AIR MISSILES , they do not need to be placed on roof tops ....the idiots have made another stupid announcement , and i for one do not take comfort from their bungling ways time after time , i will not be going to London whilst this fiasco is being held ... and i would defo not pay money to be hearded from one place to another by security gaurds ... i'll get me guinness and watch it in comfort !

I think the fact that some think our government shooting down a hijacked plane with innocent civillians on board over a populated area is absurd...for one it can lead to even more deaths secondly it plays straight into the terrorists hands in terms of getting respective governments to do there dirty work for them. The views or census seems to be by some .."well if a hundred have to die to save a thousand so be it." to those people i say maybe you should get yourselfs checked out for psycopathic tendencies.

But i think the announcement of putting surface to air missiles on civillian rooftops is a bullshit statement by a bullshit unelected government.

By your count I just saved 900 lives and at the same time you've just killed 900 more people.

If you want the missiles anywhere then on top of a building is the best place. If you put it on the ground then the building would be in the way lol

No shoot to kill policy?

Police marksmen ALWAYS shoot to kill!

Forget the bollocks you see on tv cop programmes about shooting a gun out of someones hand, or shooting them in the arm or leg to stop them..... the Police prefer not to have to shoot at all ( a comment made by a good friend who was an armed police officer... " I tried never even to draw my weapon, let alone fire it, it creates too much paperwork!").

But if they have to, they fire at centre mass... in other words the middle of the largest part of the body... your chest, and most times thats pretty damn fatal.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story lol

Its unlikely that they will use man-portable units (shoulder or prone position launched), as the risk of misfires, incorrect target aquisition and plain old "user error" are too high."

Well, I am worried now, my choice was the sensible one, but fuck me, if the pic in the paper is right, I aint flying over London whilst the olympics are on!

If they really do use this type of missile system, I hope to god there's a foolproof target designation and "friend or foe" recognition system built in, however I doubt it, and that leaves one of the busiest airspaces being scanned by some young gunner who hasnt got a clue what any type of civilian aircraft looks like at altitude, and these have a much shorter range too, which means much less time to make a "kill" decision!

Jean De Menenzes was never ordered to stop by the Police. Not once. Even the official report notes that and also mentions conflicting stories from the police. I guess they never had the chance to get their story straight. To clarify again De Menenzes was NEVER ordered to stop

My point is more about the system they may be using, the first one I mentioned is highly technical, has a greater stand-off range which means it gives more time to ID potential targets, or more importantly whether something IS a target, and has lots of scope to NOT GET IT WRONG... the second, well, you get a few seconds to decide, you point and shoot, and then sit back and watch a plane go boom.... which one would YOU rather be flying over?

If the plane means no harm or trouble, then it would have no issue with responding to orders, turning around and leaving, therefore will not get shot. The helicopters are there for the planes that will refuse to bugger off and ignore orders and potentially cause alot of damage and heartache.

Potentially cause a lot of damage? How much does a jumbo jet weigh? 300 tons?. If a plane is intent on crashing into The olympic stadium its gonna come down anyway. Speaking as a Londoner which would I prefer? A plane crashing into the olympic stadium or a plane having been shot at by SAM missiles coming down over a wide area of London in handy volkswagen size chunks?

I'd probably go for the former but then I ain't going to Stratford. Typhoons,Apaches,Marines,Warships,SAM missiles..Not one of those is gonna stop someone stepping on to a Jubilee line train and blowing himself up. But we live with that everyday,not for 3 weeks at the end of July

"The views or census seems to be by some .."well if a hundred have to die to save a thousand so be it." to those people i say maybe you should get yourselfs checked out for psycopathic tendencies.

But i think the announcement of putting surface to air missiles on civillian rooftops is a bullshit statement by a bullshit unelected government.

By your count I just saved 900 lives and at the same time you've just killed 900 more people.

If you want the missiles anywhere then on top of a building is the best place. If you put it on the ground then the building would be in the way lol

Thank god you don't work in a job where you have to make tough decisions. "

How exactly have you saved 9000 lives and ive killed 900? Ive not said anything about putting such missile sites on the ground How do you know i dont work in a job that requires tough decisions to quote another poster think yv been playing to much modern warfare m8.

Look at the israelis when there athletes were killed by terrorists in munich there government turned there mossat secret service agents into assassins to hunt down and kill the terrorists ,,,then they murdered an innocent civillian on incorrect intel.

there really isnt any defence against such acts of terrorism. But i think some semblence of border controls and the co operation btween various countries secret services on the sharing of info on suspects is prob the best way to go rather than surface to air missiles as its best chance to get the would be terrorists before they actually get on any planes and hijack them.

If any of these surface to air missiles were erected round here they would probably go missing and turn up in moss side somwhere i see it now one gang member pulls a glock the other pulls out a surface to air missile launcher he bought of a bloke in a pub

Lol i dont feel picked on you quoted my post stating you save 9000 lives and ide kill 900. Considering you seem to be in agreement on shooting down planes over urban areas and ime not i was simply asking how exactly this would save lives, considering such missiles would be used as last line of defence and as such are short range and the plane would already be over urban areas rather than out at sea.

Don't attribute words to me that I haven't said. I find it extremely offensive that you are indicating that I condone the shooting of anyone with brown skin when all I said was that the police officers involved played it out as to what they believed was happening at the time. If we all had the benefit of foresight nobody would ever die unneccessarily at all.

In your greed to score points you never stop to think just how offensive and peurile your words are.

""JEAN DE MENEZES was a man of latino appearance, an appearance that is easily mistaken for arabic (seeing as the Moors were north african and invaded most of lower Europe including Spain, who then colonised South America), and this 'arabic' looking man decided to run when ordered to stop by the police"

Tell me, would he have been mistakenly identified as a suspected terrorist had he been of a caucasian appearance?

Menezes WAS of latino appearance, that it a simple statement of fact, and it had a bearing on why he was identified (mistakenly) by police officers monitoring the block of flats in which he was living. That's a FACT too.

Spain WAS conquered by the Moors who WERE of North African origin and Spain DID colonise South America which led to the introduction of Latino genes to the gene pool on that continent. That's a fact too.

Maybe he didn't run away and wasn't ordered to stop (I've read up on it since my original post), and I think 7 bullets to the head was a tad excessive but considering that the first one would have killed him it's a bit irrelevant what the subsequent 6 bullets did or did not do. The police got it wrong that day but you can't unkill a man once he's dead.

Now, is any of what I've said in any way condoning the shooting of people with brown skin?

Wow, you have managed to misquote me quoting you, for a second time, even after missing my ironic Modern Warfare M8 misquote.

An Olympic stadium will hold many thousands of people in a small geographic area so the effects of any explosion/collision would cause considerably more casualties compared to it happening somewhere else. The obssession with jumbo jets is probably what is causing your difficulty in understanding this (I'm being kind now). A light aircraft, helicopter, even a hot air balloon could be used in an attack and can be targeted by these missiles and shooting them down will cause very few casualties.

There is a wide range of threats which is why we have a wide range of defences.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

Faced with the choice of not shooting down a jet/small aircraft/blimp and it exploding in a packed stadium killing thousands of people, or knocking it out of the sky and accepting ground casualities of 10-20, I'd shoot it down.

Well can only go with facts it was jumbo jets not balloons that smashed into the twin towers so chances are any repeat attack there gonna try hijack planes again. Regarding your use of hot air balloons errrrr how can they pinpoint there targets in a balloon they would be at the mercy of the wind for directing there target. Back to planes.. What if the plane comes down in the middle of london pretty sure there could be easily more casualties than in your stadium.

A fully fueled jumbo is likely to have more impact on a concentration of people in a stadium than the debris falling to ground - hence why did the terrorist fly into the twin towers rather than just explode them over a populated area

"A fully fueled jumbo is likely to have more impact on a concentration of people in a stadium than the debris falling to ground - hence why did the terrorist fly into the twin towers rather than just explode them over a populated area"

Some people just can't understand that concept though. Look at the fourth plane that was hijacked on 9/11. The passengers fought back to try and retake the plane so the terrorists slammed it into the ground and only those on board perished. Even the plane that hit the Pentagon 'only' killed 184 people (59 in the aircraft and 125 in the Pentagon).

A hijacked jumbo ploughing into Oxford St would have pretty much the same effect as the Pentagon plane, but if it ploughed into the Olympic Stadium (a confined area) the shock blast would kill many more than 200 people. It would kill more than that just in the stands that are hit directly by it.

My option was never not hit and hope my option was some semblence of border control and a willingness from all countries law enforcement agencies in the gathering and sharing of intel on suspected terrorists in the belief that they will never actually make it on to the aircraft in the 1st place. Therfore making the deployment of surface to air missile launchers on civillian roof tops irrelevant.

I have worked within the electronics industry. such missiles do misfire on occassions imagine one misfiring over london during the olympics that would be nearly as criminal as the prices charged by the organisers.

Running with your views on this how would you feel if members of your family were amongst the few sacrificed in order to save the masses..?

When we get to the point of saying oh well lets kill a few or let a few die to save a few more are we really any better than the terrorists themselves ? Personally if thats the case then i guess we have hit the point of no return in maintaing some semblence of humanity.

Running with your views on this how would you feel if members of your family were amongst the few sacrificed in order to save the masses..?

But you are talking about a perfect world where every measure put in place to detect would be terrorists is successful at the first point it possibly could detect them. 9/11 taught that no matter how many measures are put in place a determined person will still get through (although last night's programme on The Hunt for Bin Laden indicated that the internal wranglings between the CIA & the FBI was a direct casue of the system breaking down and information on two of the hijackers was not passed from the CIA to the FBI - if the sources on last night's programme are to be believed that is).

The situation posed is that IF a plane carrying explosives and refuses to answer calls to identify itself and is then discovered to be heading towards the site of the Olympics, should it be shot down.

It's not about why wasn't adequate security measures put in place to prevent the hijacking, nor is it about misfiring electronics on missile systerms. It is quite clearly about shooting down a fully-fuelled aircraft that may well have explosives on board before it can reach it's target and kill thousands of people.

I'm sure that any decision to launch missiles will be taken long before the plane reaches populated areas and it will be challenged whilst it is still possible to prevent deaths on the ground. The missile sites in and around Stratford are for show only and I wouldn't be surprised if any counter measures to shoot said aircraft out of the sky will be launched from HMS Ocean berthed at Greenwich or from Typhoons flying out of RAF Northolt.

They dont just use planes though do they the july 14 bombers simply walked on the tube with bombs in rucksacks ...My view is with better tighter border controls it would allow our intellegence agencies to focus better and more effectivley on our home grown terrorists such as gathering better information on where they are goin coming from such as in the vicinity of trainining terror camps allowing our security forced to operate more effectively by obtaining better intel on would be terrorists in the hope of making arrest prior to them hijacking any planes....shared intel with other countries agencies would be good in tracking said terrorists global movements.
