Heavy snow and icy conditions have caused chaos across Europe, killing six people and canceling hundreds of flights. In France, five died from accidents on slippery roads. Three died in two crashes in Landes, south-west France, due to black ice. Two others died near Paris; one in a collision with a truck, and a taxi driver plunged into a river after hitting a snowy curb. In Bosnia’s capital Sarajevo, a woman was killed when a snowy tree fell on her. The city had 40 cm of snow. French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot warned of more snow and urged people to travel only if necessary and work from home. France has placed 38 districts on orange alert for snow and ice. Many train services are canceled. In Paris, Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport canceled 40% of flights Wednesday morning to clear snow. Orly airport planned to cancel 25% of its flights. Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport canceled over 400 flights, leaving many passengers stranded. Dutch airline KLM cited extreme weather and a shortage of de-icing fluid for the disruptions. Passenger Javier Sepulveda described the situation as "chaotic, unacceptable, frustrating, annoying." Schiphol crews worked nonstop to clear runways and de-ice planes. Another 600 flights were canceled later Wednesday. Train services were also hit. A brief IT outage stopped all trains in the Netherlands Tuesday morning. Eurostar trains to Paris from Amsterdam faced cancellations and delays.
