Haos u pojedinim dijelovima Njemačke, Frankfurt je pod vodom

Ogromna količina kiše u dijelovima Njemačke uzrokovala je poplave i dovela do otkazivanja desetaka letova na aerodromu Frankfurt, najprometnijem aerodromu u zemlji i glavnom europskom čvorištu.

Aerodrom je priopćio da su se velike količine vode nakupile na pisti u srijedu navečer pa avioni nisu mogli dva sata poletjeti, izvijestila je njemačka novinska agencija dpa.

Obilne kiše u dijelovima jugozapadne i centralne Njemačke dovele su do poplavljenih podruma i ulica. U Gelsenkirchenu, u zapadnom Ruhrskom okrugu, vatrogasna služba je priopćila da su ljudi spašavani iz svojih automobila jer je nekoliko podvožnjaka autoputa bilo pod vodom.
