The online version of a UK newspaper reported on a recent incident at the Gatwick Airport in England. An Air Canada jet had to emergency land at the airport after its tire had exploded. The plane landed safely, but the runway had to shut down. Flights were diverted and cancelled or postponed, forcing passengers to spend the night at the airport. The hotels in the area were all booked. Angry passengers tweeted photos of the crowded airport and unhappy people sleeping on chairs or the floor.

Key Takeaways:

• Gatwick Airport Chaos includes fights and young children sleeping on the floors.
• There are still flights being postponed and cancelled even as Gatwick clears the backlog.
• Passengers were stuck in the air and runway as a result of debris or other issues with planes on the ground.

“Thousands claim they have been ‘abandoned’ after the main runway was damaged yesterday afternoon when an Air Canada service was forced into an emergency landing after its tyre burst.”
