London City Airport has been evacuated in a suspected chemical incident which has left people needing treatment for breathing difficulties.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said about 500 people were forced to leave the east London airport after some passengers felt unwell.
Ambulance staff treated 26 patients on the site and the LFB sent appliances used to deal with chemical incidents.
In a tweet, London Ambulance Service said two people had been hospitalised.
A spokesman for the airport said the evacuation took place at about 16:00 BST after a fire alarm was set off.
An actual attack or... I hope no one was hurt, it seems like this is happening more and more in various countries as time goes on.
BASF manager Uwe Liebelt said the cause of the blast was not yet known but added that 14 facilities had been shut down. A separate explosion that happened three hours earlier in the nearby town of Lampertheim was not related, he said.

Third incident I've read about this week.
Earlier today a Kansan distillery had a chemical cloud incident at its sewage facility that sent dozens to the hospital.
And, the BASF's headquarters in western Germany had an explosion on Monday that killed two. Explosion happened during work on a pipeline route for transporting raw chemicals to shipping.
BASF manager Uwe Liebelt said the cause of the blast was not yet known but added that 14 facilities had been shut down. A separate explosion that happened three hours earlier in the nearby town of Lampertheim was not related, he said.
