Pull the damn plug then!
Talk about stupidity...
Forget about the problems with the complicated fire safety equipment. Not even the lights can be switched off at Berlin's troublesome new airport.
(snip)
There is, however, at least one place in Germany where brightness is the rule rather than the exception. At the problem-plagued construction site that will eventually become the Berlin International Airport, the terminal lights burn around the clock. And the reason is not to prevent workers there from succumbing to the winter blues. Rather, technical difficulties at the ultra-modern airport -- which will ultimately cost close to ?4.3 billion -- mean that the lights can't be switched 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, said on Wednesday during a rare public appearance.
