    Default Why Bridges?

    2 out of 3 of the most recent terror attacks in the UK have been committed on bridges. My only guess is that they more visually accessible which allows for better media exposure. Does anyone know why?

    Only two ways on or off in most cases I'd guess..busy bridge difficult to run away from a vehicle.

    Yes. I can't think of many places to hide/run to on a bridge

    You can jump off a bridge into the water. If they drove down Camden Lock, Soho, Shoreditch etc then they would do far more damage.

    I'm not sure peoples first instinct would be to jump over the side and some of these bridges are a fair distance from the water

    I did have the same thought, plenty of narrow streets in the city.
