Berlin's BER Airport Terminal 1 reopened on Thursday evening after federal police evacuated it due to a security scare. A woman reportedly informed security staff that a dangerous substance was present in her luggage, leading to the closure at around 5:45 p.m. Police gave the all-clear at 8:45 p.m., but around 30 flights were delayed.
