CS Eng Kamau is a real serious guy. He seems to have grabbed his jacket immediately he got the news and left for the Airport. Other chaps seems to have taken time to dress, exercise and grab their ipads. Kudos Eng Kamau. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

When there was talk about having an airport in Konza, Wazuans were here up in arms to prove that Konza is very near to Nrb bla bla...see the inconvinienced caused now...people are flying to Msa so that they can re-route to Nrb kesho.

My understanding of how a fire starts is via a spark. So unless it was an explosion (which no one has reported) then it must have been a small fire before it became a big fire.
A credible source who were about to depart from the airport on an international flight confirmed to me that initially there was smoke and no one seemed worried and they continued to be processed. So the question is why at this stage airport personnel did not contain the fire.
In your own home if there is a fire, the first response would be to try and contain the fire yourself NOT call the fire brigade. So the question of why only one fire truck was sent is because the other 4 were on standby at the runway as per international air travel regulations.
My source did not fly out but reported that security officers were involved in looting and not trying to put out the fire. Further to this the sprinkler system did not release any water.

KQ is landing in Msa then routing its international flight guys to the domestic terminal. Is JKIA insured? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

The president looked so helpless on Camera I pity us. Reminds me how vain man is – despite all the power, he could do nothing…
On a separate issue, it is time they expedited the construction of Greenfield terminal with state of the art fire fighting systems including sprinklers. Most of JKIA is beyond redemption, the airport was built when fire fighting regulations were a bit lax and there are no sprinklers within the buildings – and you can’t easily put that up when terminal is under occupation.
Finally, how did someone manage to take explosives all the way despite the massive security? KAA need to answer this quiz, or otherwise tell us exactly what caused the fire and how they will prevent such in future - so we can be confident that remaining units 1-3 are safe. This is the most important thing for me right now.

The Security guys were so alert guarding the burning building.Ok may be they wanted to keep looters at bay. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

This is probably the case, the fact that there were no casualties implies that the fire spread leisurely through the building while the KAA and security personell ignored it thinking its not their responsibility or were napping to conserve their strength for their daytime side hassles. If I were the president/CS I would fire most of KAA management and yesterdays entire night shift. "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins
