Boeing 767 Simulator Of Condor Catches Fire At Franfurk Intl

December 30, 2016 By bernard.montrel@gmail.com

Some 200 people were forced to evacuate an office building at Frankfurt International Airport on Thursday after a flight simulator set ablaze.
Fire fighters managed to extinguish the flames within 45 minutes. One person was taken to a hospital due to smoke inhalation.
‘Technical fault’
According to German airline Condor, which owns the building where the fire occurred, other people were also examined at the hospital as a precautionary measure.
“The course of the incident was likely a technical fault,” German police said. The simulator, much of which burned out, contained a replica passenger cabin.
The fire is believed to have caused 16 million euros ($16,732,000) worth of damage.
