NAIA Terminal 3 bogged down by 5-hour power interruption

ABS-CBNNews.com reports that a five-hour power interruption hit a portion of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA 3) sometime after midnight. According to the report, it was caused by a "tripped power line."

Airport operations were disrupted until 5 a.m. today, March 1, since security personnel had to manually inspect all the passengers’ baggage after X-ray machines were rendered useless. Some flights were also delayed. Aside from the long line, the humid conditions also irked many passengers. The report did not explain it was only at 5 a.m. that a generator set was used to restore power.
