Fuel leak at Brussels Airport

Post by Outsync »

When I was working today I saw alot of firetrucks standing around an ex-virgin coulden't see the reg. Appearantly as I went closer I was smelling alot of kerosine and to my big suprise there was a huge puddle surrounding the aircraft.

Anyone from the fire brigade with more info? thx :)

A vehicle from Flightcare hit the fueltruck during the fueling process. The connection valve between the truck and the fuel pit broke and about 3000 litres of fuel (that's what they told me) sprayed on the asphalt like a real expensive and dangerous fountain :)

I also heard there were no injuries or casualties whatsoever, except for the fueltruck and the other itself offcourse...

I hope that Maria doesn't disturb my departure next week Wednesday, or I will find that bird.

*Sigh* Once again it becomes clear that people here have no idea about what's really going on at the airport. But I'm not going to start a new discussion about it since people call me 'mr. Wiseguy' whenever I do...
