Over four dozen travelers fall ill from toilet fumes at Berlin airport
Skift Take
This is pretty bizarre as far airport stories go, but it's better the ammonia fumes spread throughout the airport rather than a plane where passengers would have no chance to breath fresh air.
Fumes coming from a toilet at Berlin's Tegel airport on Saturday sickened 53 people, local media reported.
What kind of fumes? Apparently a cleaning crew used too much ammonia in cleaning the toilet overnight, according to TheLocal.de, an English-language news site in Germany.
