The two men, one of whom had his clothing on fire, were subdued by passersby until the police joined in within moments.

update #2: From the AP: Leeson said bollards — security posts outside the entrance — stopped the driver from barreling into the bustling terminal at Glasgow’s airport.
“He’s trying to get through the main door frame but the bollards have stopped him from going through. If he’d got through, he’d have killed hundreds, obviously,” he said.
Leeson said only the nose of the vehicle made it inside the building. Richard Grey told the BBC that the vehicle was lodged into the center of the terminal’s main entrance.
