The Associated Press described some “minor” injuries to ten
airport workers, including ground crew and Firefighters with their Emergency and Safety Products. They went through smoke inhalation which resultantly brought
the uneasiness.
As intimated by Lufthansa, what caused the fire was not clear. Prominent
burn marks around the flight deck and front of the A340 were displayed in the
images. The A340 was painted in a special Star Alliance livery.
“The aircraft is heavily damaged,” Lufthansa said in
a statement to Reuters, adding to the news agency that the aircraft had
been scheduled to used Monday for Lufthansa Flight 426 from Frankfurt to
Philadelphia.
The fire sent black smoke swirling
into the air but due to a good job of the emergency responders, airport traffic
remained unaffected in spite of the incident.
