Four people were injured on May 8 when the ceiling collapsed at part of the domestic terminal of Istanbul's Ataturk airport, Turkish media reports said.

Three security workers and one traveller were injured when the suspension ceiling collapsed in the security control area at the entrance to the domestic terminal, the CNN-Turk television station reported.
 
Turkish television images showed debris and broken support struts from the ceiling strewn around the X-Ray security machines and the injured being strapped into stretchers.
 
Ataturk airport, named after modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and located on the western outskirts of Istanbul, is the busiest airport in the country.
