Spilled nail varnish on plane prompts emergency at German airport

BERLIN (AP) - A spilled bottle of nail varnish on-board an aircraft prompted emergency services to rush into action at an airport in northern Germany, police said Saturday.

Ambulances and security officials were summoned and part of the Bremen airport closed off Friday evening after police were alerted that passengers on-board a flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands that was about to land were complaining of nausea for unknown reasons.

After the plane landed, the roughly 45 passengers were taken off by officials using breathing equipment, police said. But doctors found that none was injured or ill, and the passengers soon felt better.

Police then determined that a female passenger's nail varnish had leaked and its pungent odour was circulated by the aircraft's air conditioning system.

The passenger will not face any legal action, police spokesman Juergen Osmers said.
