U jednom od hangara u blizini zračne luke Southend kod Londona izbio je veliki požar danas oko 11:40 sati, javljaju britanski mediji. Hangar se nalazi u blizini jednog od terminala zračne luke.

Vjeruje se da u vrijeme požara niti jedan avion nije bio u hangaru, a zračna luka i dalje je otvorena za promet. Prema navodima svjedoka, prije izbijanja požara začula se eksplozija.

Na terenu su vatrogasci, koji gase požar.

Update: Smoke still coming from the building at Southend Airport as fire fighters continue to tackle it.
