12:08 Uhr: Passagiere sitzen in Maschinen fest
Alle Flugzeuge von Terminal 1 mssen zur Sicherheit vom Rollfeld zurck in ihre Parkposition. Die Passagiere mssen an Bord ihrer Maschinen bleiben, so die Durchsagen in den Flugzeugen. Man vertreibe sich die Zeit damit, mgliche Entschdigungen auszurechnen, schreibt einer unserer Reporter, der in einer Germanwings-Maschine festsitzt.

Had a laugh on that one, too.
Anyway, "Situation green" now.
A 62y.o. spaniard "tried to rush to his plane" through some door he wasnt supposed to to use.
Right.. a door any older can use and that results in several thousands being held aground.
Who is the terrist here? :-P

The situation certainly show how bad the security management is at the airport, given that this shouldn't happen under any circumstance.

That solely depends on who and on what basis you are seeking compensation. Compensation according to 261/04 will certainly be out of the picture. You could however sue that moron that got the airport to a screeching halt. Obviously you would need to proof that you suffered a damage for which the moron is responsible.

Maybe that spaniard was just very well informed?

But that (and you should probably know that) doesn't stop people from suing or at least claiming the money. Success of their action is another pair of shoes.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for the most of us) you are incorrect. As a pax you do not have any contractual relationship with the moron and a tort case under German law would require a breach of one of the absolute rights mentioned in section 823 of the German Civil Code:
