Chaos Erupts as Car Breaches Airport Entrance
29 May
Summary
- A vehicle unexpectedly entered the airport terminal, causing panic.
- An employee described the shocking moment the car broke through the glass.
- The terminal briefly closed but reopened hours later.
An unexpected vehicle intrusion into an airport terminal sparked confusion and fear among witnesses and airport staff. Describing the incident, an employee stated the vehicle approached from the middle of the area and forcefully entered through door four, breaking glass. This sudden breach immediately raised safety concerns, with workers expressing fear and uncertainty about the potential threat within the car.
Another witness reported that the driver initially steered onto a sidewalk to bypass concrete barriers before accelerating towards the terminal entrance, noting a woman sustained a knee injury after falling. The driver was reportedly shouting at people to move before the vehicle rammed the building. The terminal experienced a temporary shutdown but reopened before 11 am on the day of the incident.
Authorities have not yet released the identity of the driver or specified whether charges will be filed. This event follows a similar incident at Detroit Metro Airport's McNamara Terminal in January, after which additional barriers were installed.
