| Hamburg airport was evacuated and closed after at least 50 people reported suffering breathing problems after inhaling an “unknown substance.” | |
| It all started with people complaining of breathing difficulties after being exposed to unidentified unpleasant odors at the airport in Hamburg on Sunday morning, Hamburger Morgenpost reported. | |
| Terminal 1 and 2 were then evacuated and hundreds of passengers had to wait outside at almost below zero temperatures. | |
| The substance was found during a security check, a police spokeswoman said, according to Reuters. There have been complaints of irritated eyes from the airport personnel, she added. | |
| A source earlier told Bild that the unknown substance might have gotten into the airport’s air-conditioning system. The environmental services of the fire brigade are currently trying to establish exactly what the substance was. | |
| The firebrigade that responded to the call set up first aid posts for those who inhaled the substance. | |
| At least one flight has been delayed for more than an hour because of the emergency, Hamburg airport said on Twitter. | |
