Düsseldorf Airport fire
On 11 April 1996, a fire broke out inside the passenger terminal of Düsseldorf International Airport, Germany, killing 17 people. As of 2013, it is the worst structural fire to have occurred in any commercial airport building. According to various sources, between 62 and 88 people were injured. The catastrophic conflagration is considered a prime example for a polystyrene fire, illustrating the flammability of such material. Approximately 1,000 firefighters were involved in extinguishing the blaze, which at the time was the largest fire response in the history of North Rhine-Westphalia.
