Berlin's New Airport Can't Turn Its Own Lights Off
Problems keep piling up at the construction site that will eventually become Berlin Brandenburg Airport.
Another day, another embarrassing story for officials working to complete construction of the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The latest in a string of recent problems for the project comes after locals complained that the airport's terminal lights appeared to be kept on 24 hours a day. Turns out, the lights are being left on because they can't be turned off.
"It has to do with the fact that we haven't progressed far enough with our lighting system that we can control it," Horst Amann, airport technical director, told Spiegel Online.
