France: Drone footage captures huge blaze on Calais motorway

Drone footage captured the huge blaze created by striking workers from MyFerryLink, who set fire to tyres on the motorway and blocked the Channel Tunnel entrance in Calais, Tuesday. The workers were protesting against planned job cuts after Eurotunnel announced they were selling the company to Denmark's DFDS in early June. Around 400 MyFerryLink employees could lose their jobs as a consequence of the sale, which has led SeaFrance to ask for a two month extension to allow it time to buy ships of its own and keep all staff on. As a result of the strikes, a number of delays have been reported with passengers unable to reach the Coquelles Eurotunnel terminal.
