To the great shock of passengers of two airlines at the airport of Dusseldorf, Germany, reported the most widespread German illustrated daily tabloid newspaper BILD quoted by FOCUS.
Information states that there is a kerosene spill that could cause a fire.
"We were already on the plane to Barcelona. From the window, a loaded tanker could be seen crashing into a pole. The tank opened and thousands of liters of kerosene leaked out,” a passenger said, describing the scenes at the airport on Saturday morning.
The airport fire department arrived with several emergency vehicles. First message: "Everyone off the planes!” About 400 passengers had to leave the planes of the Vueling and Eurowings airlines through the passenger bridges..
Passengers had to wait a long time at the terminal as their flights were delayed.
A spokesman for Düsseldorf Airport told BILD: "All operations at the airport are not affected.“ Affected machines had to be towed to other locations.
Both planes were supposed to take off around noon, but that didn't happen.
