Quito airport continues to

Quito airport continues to be closed indefinitely. People are trying to clean up the city, but it's going to be a huge job. I heard this morning that they have almost a thousand people with brooms and dustpans cleaning up the runway and surrounding area. Here's a shot of some workers cleaning off a passenger jet. It's a huge financial liability for the country to have the airport closed. Off the top of my head, and can think of the tourism industry and the fresh cut flower industry that will be hurt by this.
