I think they might have tracked the planes on 911,imight be wrong ,but if they did track them they would have none that they were off course, this is just a ges
I would imagine they did but with terrorism the last thing on their minds at that time they were probably just looking at the radar screens in bemusement - nowadays a fighter jet would be up intercepting it pretty dam quick.

I’ve always thought that the hijacking of a petrol tanker was a very real possibility. (Hope ISIS aren’t reading this).
You can guarantee that they will of already though of that
IS would go bust in days. Have you seen the cost of CDW!!!?

I think the gov could aford to by there own i dont see the need for them to rent one,that would mean fake ids and other stuff which cost money,and they would have to account for that more propergsnder from the bbc, take it with a pinch of salt.Errrrr, I don’t think the government are interested in actually hiring a truck, they want to know how easy it is. Unless you’re one of those nuts who thinks the government is behind everything
Not every thing but most ,wernt they responsible for mitsamatosis
Myxomatosis. And no, the government was not responsible for that.

I think it might give the game away at the point of renting it,if they asked…just show us the pedal that makes it go…we don’t need to know what one makes it stop…
Not if they got someone with an Irish accent to hire it for them…
Anything over 7.5t and you usually need to provide your own insurance so added with the o-licence it makes it fairly difficult.
Plenty of 18 tonners on ebay for a couple of grand clone the numberplates off another truck of the same make and model, ideally from an operator on green and they’re good to go. A lot of companies don’t bother removing the livery so if you got an old supermarket chain wagon, off ebay or an exporter, still liveried with some numberplates that show tax and insurance I would think the chances of any of the authorities batting an eyelid would be small.
That’s probably where the risk is rather than hire companies.

Same old problems, just different names.
