Curious child hits button, foams airport hanger

A curious child just couldn't resist temptation and hit an emergency button that triggered a sea of fire suppression foam at a Philadelphia airport hanger.

The expanse of white foam not only filled the hanger on Saturday but it spilled out onto the tarmac where the wind blew puffs of it into the air like a snow storm.



The incident at Northeast Airport occurred during Agusta Aerospace's family day outing. Authorities said an employee's child hit a button that said "Don't hit button unless in an emergency."

The Philadelphia Fire Department was called out to to clean up the mess. There was no word on any damage to the helicopter inside the hanger.
