Quoting ua900 (Thread starter): BER: Over 600 Walls Need To Be Rebuild |
Quoting Revelation (Reply 5): Maybe BER should hire Gorbachev? |

Quoting ua900 (Thread starter): The death nail for BER being completed within the latest and greatest restated timeframe to have construction completed by March 2016. As usual, the delays will be just a couple months more than thought, yet without fully known dates. Interestingly, the prospect of rebuilding altogether is raised in the article, usually these voices are dismissed outright without ever making it into an article. Anyone want to bet on when BER will be completed? I'd say not before 2020...

Quoting LAX772LR (Reply 2): Anyone else see the historical irony in this? |
Quoting N14AZ (Reply 11): No, the roof is another issue. |
Quoting SCQ83 (Reply 16): I am not exaggerating, but at this stage TXL should be in the podium of the worst airports in the world. I have had more pleasant experiences flying through JED even. At least the A/C works there. Given that the number of passengers in 2014 were double those of 2004, I wonder what they are thinking about. |
Quoting 747megatop (Reply 17): HOW COULD GERMANY (the famed land synonymous with autobahns, BMW, Mercedes and Lufthansa) BOTCH THIS SO BADLY? They can't build ONE airport and put it in service? |
Quoting 747megatop (Reply 17): Awesome new terminals Changi T3, DEL T3, BOM T2, Beijing T3 for the 2008 olympics. |
Quoting 747megatop (Reply 17): And I definitely can't list comprehensively the airports and terminals that China has built in the past 15 years; but my point in all |

Quoting AWACSooner (Reply 18): Delta will retire the last MD-80 before BER opens. |

Quoting PanHAM (Reply 20): The bet is, that Berlin will become the first Major capital City in the world which can be accessed by road and rail only. |
Quoting kaitak (Reply 34): Seriously, though, why blame the mayor? Surely this comes down to the architects and builders. How could they build a public building without installing all of the required safety equipment. |

Quoting 747megatop (Reply 10): Well they should first resurrect Mr Reagan from the grave and hire him. |

Quoting PanHAM (Reply 20): The walls which must fall now are made with the wrong sort of Stone, not fire resistant, which is a bit awkward for fire resisting walls. When that happens in China, they paint it over...... |
Quoting N14AZ (Reply 38): I just came back from a project where they quickly replaced all the equipment which did not comply with the fire protection requirements |
Quoting PanHAM (Reply 39): would that have been done without the Tianjin catastrophy? |
Quote: Posted on August 20, 2009 by China Briefing Aug. 20 – The release of amendments to China’s fire safety laws following an increase in the numbers of fatal fires in commercial premises on the mainland last year is affecting businesses, which are now having to ensure adequate measures in fire prevention, evacuation and extinguishing are implemented. - See more at: http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2....dpuf |
Quoting seahawk (Reply 40): They are then free to either built new or try to make the current buildings fit for use. |
Quoting txlbased (Reply 44): that´s the result when politicians try to run an airport. |
Quoting PanHAM (Reply 35): Closing THF was the icing on the cake |
Quoting Delta777Jet (Reply 46): What would it take to reverse the mistake and re-open THF ? |
Quoting CARST (Reply 45): FRA or Fraport was always (at last partly) in the hand of the state Hessen (Hesse) and benefited from the political support |
Quoting LCYFlyer (Reply 42): Two things: design freeze and the wrong guys in the supervisory board who absolutely have no clue what's going on. It's a freaking shame for Germany! |
