Hello,
There was apparently a fire at the Dusseldorf airport in Germany a few weeks
back. What I understand is that some welding going on outside the terminal
ignited cables in an air duct. Allegedly 40 people were overcome by fumes/
smoke and the information I have indicates a couple deaths occurred.
Officials(not sure which ones) are now seeking information as to PVC, cadmium,
and asbestos content of equipment. Interesting list of materials. I have no
idea how many manufacturers have been asked to provide this information.
Anyway, the purpose for this note is to ask if anyone has heard of this
incident and if someone might have some details about the incident. What
little information I have has raised questions in my mind as to what really
occurred and why. Are computer and electronics manufacturers the only ones
being picked on or are manufacturers of other items one would find in an
airport terminal also being asked to provide this type of information.
This is just my curiosity at work.
