Roof collapses at Majorca's international airport
Part of the roof has collapsed at Majorca's international airport sparking panic among passengers. Debris and glass fell from the ceiling into the baggage claim area of Son Sant Joan Airport on the Spanish island early this afternoon. Shocking photos shared on social media show large shards of glass and dust on the floor. According to Ultima Hora's report, several people were using the vending machines when the ceiling collapsed. Spanish airports authority AENA blamed the collapse in an initial analysis on debris from construction work that has been falling onto a glass roof near the entrance to the baggage claim area. An AENA spokesman told local press: 'People in charge of the airport are already analysing what happened in order to adopt the appropriate measures and to determine responsibilities if necessary.' One English-speaking woman could be overheard saying: 'Oh my God' as a cloud of dust rose from the ground where part of the roof had fallen. Local Juan Antonio Bauza dubbed Palma Airport 'the worst in Spain' in a social media post this evening. The sports reporter said on X: 'I imagine someone will have to assume responsibility for this.' Renovation works at the airport have been criticised by workers and air passengers. In January the fall of a panel and weather conditions led to dust entering the terminal and complaints.
