Airport closed three times in a month - by burnt toast
21.11.09
Prestwick Airport has been evacuated 3 times in a month - because staff keep burning toast! The Daily Record reports that flights have been disrupted and thousands of passengers and workers forced to flee the terminal after hungry immigration officers blundered in staff rooms. Now the airport is considering a toaster ban.
An 'insider' told the newspaper: ‘This is the third time in the last month that the fire brigade have been called to the airport for burnt toast. It has caused massive disruption for everyone. There are a lot of businesses within the terminal that have been hit by the chaos.'
‘It seems to be immigration officers triggering the smoke alarms with their snacks. The airport needs to ban toasters because their total disregard for safety is putting lives at risk and must be costing taxpayers a fortune.’
A Prestwick airport spokesman said: ‘We are reviewing our procedures to prevent a repetition of the problem. We have reminded staff of the correct use and positioning of toasters. If the problem persists we may consider an outright ban.’
