President Traian Basescu too suffered from the storm, as he was blocked for about 15 minutes, Tuesday night, on the Henri Coanda airport, at his arrival from a state visit to Israel. The head of state delivered a statement in the official salon of the airport, in front of the press, but the sound equipment malfunction also because of the storm and he had to interrupt his address. At a certain moment, the president even wished to postpone for Wednesday his press statement on the results of his visit to Israel, but eventually the sound equipment was turned off and Traian Basescu went on with his press statement without microphone and loudspeakers.
