BERLIN (AP) – Climate activists glued themselves to the ground at Cologne-Bonn Airport in western Germany on Wednesday, forcing officials to suspend flights for a few hours, authorities said.

Police said five people glued themselves to a taxiway at the airport early in the morning, German news agency dpa reported. Flights were suspended for about three hours from about 5:45 a.m. while officers worked to remove the protesters.

The airport said that 31 flights were canceled and six had to be diverted.

📣 An international uprising w/ actions at airports to demand a #FossilFuelTreaty to phase out fossil fuels by 2030 has started!

I guess it would be hard on the aircraft to just roll over them...

Speedbumps. All I see is speedbumps.

Impromptu gymkhana/autokhana/auto testing/Autocross course. Call the three guys from The Grand Tour, they're usually up for something like that.

Aircraft tires are expensive and FOD is the bane of jet aircraft.

Just ask the Concorde ...

Snowplows are rather more robust.

Run them over.

A 120 pound protester is no match for a 300 ton jet.

All anyone might feel/hear is a slight thump.

That’s a good one.

Besides, the Maligators are bored and need some exercise.

It would have been a great time to pull an airliner about 50’ beyond them and do some engine run up testing.

“I keep trying to tell FReepers that hornets are an under utilized crowd control tool. Drop a few hornet nests by the protestors and they’ll “unglue” themselves.”

Guinea Wasps... They’re mean little bastards.

Better yet, Africanized Honey (killer) Bees.

Bring in the snow removal equipment. You only have to do this once, and it never happens again. If the don’t have the guts for this, drive slowly and allow time for them to free themselves.

People won’t do this anymore #1 and #2, less pollution from less carbon life forms.

Preferably something with afterburners.
