Istanbul, Turkey - +Fire In Istanbul's Airport+

Istanbul, Turkey - A huge fire engulfed the cargo section of Istanbul’s Ataturk International airport, blocking air traffic and causing hundreds of panicked people to flee.

Authorities worked to evacuate thousands of people from nearby terminals as black smoke billowed 100 feet into the air.

A firefighter atop a tall ladder poured a stream of water on the fire, and a plane flew overhead, dropping a payload onto the flames - apparently fire retardant chemicals. But the flames rose above the building.
