At about 3:30 p.m., like a domino effect, the canopy of Terminal 2 collapsed. Vehicles at the scene drove off while a few were hit by the debris.

Fortunately, no one was hurt from the incident while flights were suspended briefly during the windy period before returning to normal operations on Monday,
