glass wall in Terminal 3 at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, shattered when an earthquake, which measured 6.1 on the Richter scale, shook Greater Jakarta on Tuesday afternoon.
State-owned airport company Angkasa Pura (AP) II spokesperson Yado Yarismano said the damage occurred in a sky bridge that connected the terminal to parking spots.
“From the existing photos we obtained from the field, one of [the glass walls] of the sky bridge shattered because of the earthquake,” Yado said Tuesday, adding that operations at the airport remained under control.
Meanwhile, ceramic pieces, which fell of the walls, littered Depok City Hall in West Java after the quake.
The local archive agency and library buildings were also damaged after their ceilings collapsed.
“The damage caused by the earthquake is not that severe,” said one of the buildings’ cleaning service workers, Andi, as quoted by kompas.com. (wnd)
