Oops - someone did not really think that through at the design stage!



That's odd. A scissors platform sounds perfect for the job, or is it much
higher than it looks?



As ever these stories seem incomplete, AIUI it's not that they can't
change them, but H&S conserns.

I assume there are issues with the building being used 24/7,

But it's not

There are no flights from about 10:30 until 6:00 so even if you add a couple
of hours at each end for straggles/check in there's still 3 hours in the
middle when no one needs to be at any particular place in the airport. Even
if you do need to allow people on early flights to arrive at midnight and
"wait" there's no reason why it can't be closed off a section at a time
