Airport evacuated
28.07.09
Several hundred passengers about to fly out from Birmingham Airport were evacuated yesterday when fire alarms sounded in the departure lounge of Terminal 1. Passengers spent about 10 minutes outside on the runway side of the airport terminal before being allowed back in to the building.
An airport spokesman said: ‘The glass on one of the fire alarms was accidentally broken, setting off the alarm. We evacuated the building, but it was a false alarm. There were people waiting to board 10 flights at the time the alarm sounded.’
