Incendio sospechoso de cables interrumpe el Aeropuerto Internacional de Ciudad del Cabo

Un incendio sospechoso que involucraba cables de TI en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Ciudad del Cabo provocó una interrupción temporal de los vuelos internacionales el martes. Airports Company South Africa restauró la energía a las 18:30 de esa misma noche. Todos los pasajeros y el personal permanecieron a salvo durante el incidente.

Las operaciones en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Ciudad del Cabo se vieron interrumpidas el martes debido a un incendio en la zona de tierra del terminal. El fuego, que se sospecha involucraba cables de TI, fue extinguido sin lesiones a pasajeros o personal, aunque causó efectos notables en la infraestructura y las funciones del aeropuerto. Imágenes compartidas por el usuario de x.com @Darth_Martys capturaron la escena, mostrando gruesos haces de cables ardiendo dentro de una columna estructural exterior, con llamas y humo saliendo por la parte superior. Los equipos de emergencia respondieron rápidamente, aplicando espuma extintora en las áreas afectadas y zonas cercanas. Airports Company South Africa declaró que el incendio impactó la red y los sistemas de TI del aeropuerto, lo que resultó en la pérdida de WiFi y otros servicios críticos. Esto llevó a una breve suspensión de los vuelos internacionales. A las 18:30 del martes por la noche, la energía se había restaurado por completo, permitiendo reanudar las operaciones. El incidente puso de relieve vulnerabilidades en la infraestructura aeroportuaria, pero los funcionarios informaron que no había amenazas en curso tras la restauración.
