At Atlanta airport, on the runway, developed several tons of fuel.

According to the resource Avia.pro, on the eve of the day, the Atlanta airport was temporarily closed to receive and send aircraft, the main reason for which was a fuel leak. According to American media reports, about 3800 liters of fuel were spilled on the runway, which could ignite in the event of the slightest spark hit.

According to preliminary information, the fuel was spilled due to a technical malfunction of the fuel pump's pump, although initially there was a version that the fault was caused by a leak in the tank of one of the aircraft.

After processing the runway with a special train, Atlanta Airport resumed its work.
