They were arriving from Romania.<br /><br />"When we first saw the fire we tried to put it out. I filmed a short video in case I needed to show airport staff.<br /><br />"We went down to a lower floor to find a fire extinguisher as there were already two empty ones nearby. <br /><br />"By the time we got back the fuel tank had already exploded and there was nothing we could do."<br /><br />The blaze later became large enough to cause the building to partially collapse, injuring four firefighters and one member of airport staff.<br /><br />At its peak, the fire was being tended to by more than 100 firefighters, 15 engines and three specialist aerial appliances.<br /><br />All flights are cancelled until at least 3:00 pm today (11/10), affecting 25,000 passengers.
