Very sad day. Very shameful. Very depressing. Fires are bound to happen, the problem is fire control preparedness. Planes do catch fire too. Again, this is shameful. National shame.

oh I understand that was security detail lol.For a moment I wondered if his flight was departing from mlolongo.


Was talking to those engineers wa fueling companies, hakuna job today. They will spend the day sleeping in their cubicles.

I see pax walking with luggages jameni from arrivals all the way up cz of no vehicles.

Now everyone wants to know if their cargo has gone up in flames,

What is cnn telling the world? It's the arrivals/immigration/customs/Barclays bank,(money) woi,car hire companies,forex,hotels,wololo guys have suffered and that expensive simba restaurant area Sad

The cargo area is ok but..

After the fact.
Fire has happened.

Looking ahead
I hope someone is already working at contingencies and business continuity. We cant be shut down..no.

Now thats where the problems begins we never have BCPs...this is going to be rough...

Mboss, BCPs are there. Be informed. An airport can be shut down to contain the fire, arriving airlines are rerouted to other airports nearby, e.g. MSA. Departures can be delayed or cancelled till things are contained.

Strategic planning and risk management: Maybe, we need a second international airport in Nairobi or somewhere close to Nairobi. Again, maybe, Nairobi County needs at least three firefighting helicopters.

What we need are people to do their goddamned jobs!!! otherwise you may wake up to find both Airports burning if you had two within the same vicinity.

So I guess my flight tomorrow will be cancelled, so will spend the rest of the day managing disappointed clients instead of doing productive work.

Huge fire closes Nairobi's international airport

People watch a fire raging at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya.
BY TIMES STAFF
August 7, 2013, 3:00 p.m.
A spectacular fire caused major damage Wednesday at the international airport in Nairobi, Kenya, one of the busiest in Africa, according to news reports and social media accounts. There were no reports of casualties, and the cause appeared to be undetermined.

The blaze broke out at 5 a.m. local time (7 p.m. Tuesday PDT) and gutted the arrivals building of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, according to Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper. The paper quoted the head of security for the Kenya Airports Authority, Eric Kiraithe, as saying: “By our own standards this is so big.”

The airport was closed and passengers evacuated, the BBC reported, adding that there were unconfirmed reports that the blaze had begun in the airport's immigration offices.

The fire broke out on the 15th anniversary of the Aug. 7, 1998, bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, but there was no immediate indication that there was any link. That bombing, and the nearly simultaneous bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, were the largest attacks to that point by Al Qaeda, and claimed 224 lives.

After Wednesday's airport fire, the Associated Press quoted a British passenger, Martyn Collbeck, who had been scheduled to fly back to London on an early morning KLM flight. “When I arrived, there were one or two fire engines parked outside the international arrivals. It spread very fast,” said Collbeck. “There were a couple of explosions, which I think were a couple of gas canisters.”

Photos posted on Twitter suggested the scale of the blaze.

Jomo Kenyatta is said to be the sixth busiest airport in Africa. It is named after Kenya's first prime minister and president.

Conspiracy theories are escapist means intended to divert and distort the truth. This needs a clear answer. And we can get the answer, if we are willing. Are we?
