Kenyan authorities on Wednesday shut down Nairobi’s main international airport, the gateway to one of sub-Saharan Africa’s most vital trading regions, following a massive pre-dawn fire that engulfed and badly damaged the facility.

Hundreds of passengers were stranded outside Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as fire fighters — reportedly hampered by a lack of working equipment — struggled to battle intense flames and plumes of smoke.

How will he ever get back home?
