London City Airport was evacuated on Tuesday after a man set
off a fire alarm because he was late for his flight A full-scale evacuation was
carried out after the man triggered the alarm in the hope of delaying a British
Airways flight to Frankfurt. Police attended the incident and the culprit was questioned
before being released. "A late-running passenger trying to stop a flight to
Frankfurt triggered the fire alarm,” a spokesman for the airport said.

"The source was immediately identified and staff and
passengers were able to re-enter the building around 15 minutes later."
He added: "Once an aircraft has started its engines
there's little you can do to get onboard if you're late, short of clinging to
the undercarriage - which we obviously wouldn't recommend.
"Lovely though Frankfurt is, the person who triggered
the alarm will probably, with hindsight, wish they had taken it on the chin and
re-booked as the matter was taken up by police."
Asked whether the passenger had managed to make his flight,
the airport's Twitter feed said: "They were questioned and released, we
believe they continued their journey with a much longer delay as a
result."
Scotland Yard said officers attended but it was down to the
airport to decide what action to take and the man was not arrested.
