Fire in Fiumicino, chaos in the night at the airport: thousands still waiting to leave – The Messenger

The chaos of the airport of Fiumicino, caused by the fire arson this afternoon which resulted in the suspension of takeoffs, is having ripple effects far into the night.

After 24 c ‘ thousands of passengers were still in line at Terminal 3, waiting to see if they would be able to leave. Tired and angry lady, who with her husband and two small children had to leave at 18.30 with Easyjet to Kos, Greece. Fifteen minutes before one, after nearly seven hours of waiting explains: “They made us get off the plane, but we have not returned your luggage, tell us that they do not know where they are. We would be also available from another day, but we are told that unless we stay here and wait not rivederemo our luggage and even lose the ticket. We are prisoners. We would like to go home, the children are crying. But is this possible? “.

 Very long queues at the counters of the Spanish airline Vueling. “We had to leave for Palermo at 14 – tells a Sicilian boy – is past midnight and we are still here. We used to in the car. We understand that there were problems caused by the fire, but no one here gives information and tells us when we can go home or where we sleep. It is not acceptable. There are old people and children. ” Many have called the police, but the officers also came to restore calm among the passengers understandably impatient.

In the crowd there were those who fell ill and doctors had to intervene to rescue him. Hardships also concern many Romans who are abroad and who hoped to return today. “My daughter is locked in Nice, but say they can not take off from Fiumicino why not get the green light. How is it that a fire can to overload the most important airport in Italy? “.
