- Frankfurt Airport had to curtail operations as heavy rain lashed the city on Wednesday, August 16th. The terrible weather led to dozens of flights being canceled, and there were even instances of passengers unable to disembark from aircraft after they had landed due to the flooding of the apron! Let’s look at what happened, in today’s video.

Hahah good one
Very impressed by your pronunciation of the German names, well done!
Especially when he said "Hessiche Rundfunk". Impressive.

That's one impressive lightning-strike total.
Britain must have the best climate and the best airports in the world after all.
Also what happened is before midnight when flights resumed, around 8 planes were taxiing to take off but because it was 00:00, they all had to return to gate. For example the Korean Air flight FRA-ICN KE946 was scheduled to take off at 19:40, after a long delay at 23:50 they were taxiing to take off, but unfortunately for the passengers & crew before they reached the runaway it clocked 00:00, and aircraft had to return back to gate and disembark etc. The next day the flight took off to Seoul at 2pm, and this happened with few other flights. Imagine the frustration...
Anyone else been wondering for a while if the Simple Flying Voice is a real person or a bot? Lol

Surely they have a drainage system??
Apparently they don't
Well that’s bad
Have a good drainage system, but if whole city is flooded, it can't go anywhere. Problem for Germany and other nations, those very heavy flooding rainfalls are a new thing. Country needs to adopt
This sound very familiar Airport shut due to thunder storm causing heavy rain and flooding during summer
Wasn't really that big of deal if only 1000 passengers were impacted at such a large airport. Usual social media reports
damn cant imagine the airport leaking water as well
That is nothing in comparison to numerous Chinese airports. The new Beijing one was covered by nearly 2 m of water
didn’t know it was a competition
@owneofxbox3448 Well, big difference between an airport with a 30cm temporary flood, versus a 2m flood lasting weeks.
@@jantschierschky3461 it’s not a competition
And he didn't say it was. He shared that he thought the report was exaggerated, when given perspective with another severe event. He's entitled to his opinion. And I agree with him.
But yes, not a competition
@@sshah2545 so the news is only valid when it is more severe than the chinese airports. so it is a competition in the end.
So, Frankfurt airport is not the best airport in Europe after all. If flood water controls was not taking into consideration when planning the construction of the airport beforehand, how come it won that award repeatedly? 😂😅😅
Dude.. it's an airport. Not the Nile river valley.
Severe weather, is getting MORE severe everywhere in the world. There are places in the world that deal with this kind of rainfall every year, and so are prepared for it.
Frankfurt, ans Germany in general is NOT one of those places. This was unusual, and reported on, BECAUSE IT WAS unusual. German, and generally European infrastructure is some of the best in the world. I have no doubt that German cities ans airports are fairly well designed and built to handle most common weather. Obviously, this storm was notably uncommon.
A single, freak, act-of-god event doesn't make the airports customer service and operational rating any worse, especially if it was consistently good enough to win that award many years in a row.
New Noah's Ark?
Third world country ....oh..it's just Frankfurt ...I see Europeans criticize places like India which deals with severe monsoon and say that they need better water management system..while Germany can't take a little drizzle when compared to Monsoons.
Hope people are put up in hotel or. Go to other airlines who are more competent to bypass floods abd just fly
So, you are saying LH should have the power to control weather? And FYI, LH is just a tenant of the FRA airport, so the flooding is their issue,except it isn't. Even the best maintained drain system cannot handle inches of rain and hour. Having worked the ramp for 35 years, and even with safety protocols regarding lightning, I have had 2 indirect lightning experiences. You really think it is wise for anyone to be out working with lightning??
One other note, when you can buy a ticket for a plane ride, one day, someday, read the conditions of carriage - the airlines are not responsible for weather related delays or cancellations,so nyet to your hotel hopes.
So it's LH's fault that there is a flood? Maybe stay in school kid, to learn how to speak English and formulate arguments.
No, Lufthansa told all staff to go home and abandoned hundreds in the airport, without food, water or anywhere to sleep. The queues were huge and their staff just walked off.
