PJIAE in Darkness—Generators Could Not Start.

Airport: --- The Princess Juliana International Airport (PJIAE) was thrown into darkness for more than an hour on Sunday. According to information reaching SMN News the power box that is connected to the generators failed when electricity from GEBE went off.
Sources told this reporter that no one on duty was able to re-program the power box, leaving the airport in darkness as well as all doors closed for more than an hour. Several passengers and other persons who were at the airport at the time were heard using profanity, as they could not get out of the building. SMN News learnt that only one employee working at the Princess Juliana International Airport (PJIAE) knows how to reprogram the power box and management had to go looking for the employee to get power back on. The airport did not release any information on this incident up to press time.

Still looking? They don't have his cell phone? Or address - you can send someone to his house, for Pete's sake. This island is not that big! What a bunch of incompetent bureaucrats. It amazes me that not a single large plane had an accident there. P.S. i don't think gov't has anything to do with it. the airport generates its own revenue, if they don't have anyone on duty who can turn on the lights, the management should be FIRED by the government who own the darn thing! report abuse vote down vote up
