bulbul Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 CHENNAI: There is a certain ritual that workers at the new airport terminals are now used to do whenever they see a raincloud on the horizon. And the first step is to search for plastic buckets. When the heavens open up, it's hell here, as rainwater drips through crevices and false ceilings. The problem is serious in passenger lounges and security hold areas of the new terminals. At least 10 buckets were placed at different points in the new international terminal on Sunday night to collect rainwater after heavy rain lashed the city. Areas with maximum water leaks at the city airport include a corridor connecting two terminals, and the passenger hold area inside the new steel-and-glass structure with a hovering wing-like roof. The international terminal handles more than 4,000 passengers a day and 27 airlines. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/When-it-rains-Chennai-airport-staff-go-looking-for-buckets/articleshow/26015507.cms :cantstop::cantstop:
GoldenSun Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Yeah i remember seeing this whenever I visit Chennai :cantstop:. Also, the domestic terminal is way better than the International one.
hhunaeh Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 shoddy construction is real funny till you remember the giant metro bridges going all around the city in metros like bangalore. Hopefully they are of better quality and wont fall on our heads.
