Inside Luton Airport’s car park graveyard with burnt-out cars seen upside down after 1,500 vehicles went up in flames

CHARRED remains of vehicles still sit stacked up in Luton Airport's car park graveyard almost two weeks after it was destroyed in a massive blaze.

The inferno took hold of the new £20million multi-storey building on October 10, reducing hundreds of cars to mere metal shells.

Now footage has showed the aftermath, with otherwise-undamaged cars laying upside down and on their sides as a result the floors collapsing in the scorching heat.

It comes after fire chiefs warned that even if vehicles remained in perfect nick inside the car park their owners may never be able to drive then away.

Experts claimed that was because the massive blaze had left the building too dangerous to get near.

And today Teslas, BMWs, and VWs alike all lie in a crumpled mess inside the fire-ravaged building.

Some lay on their sides, while others are flattened underneath the buildings giant concrete foundations.

Some 1,500 vehicles were said to be inside the car park when it went up in smoke.

Luton Airport said: "We understand the distress this incident has caused for our car parking customers, and that many are still anxious for more detail.

"We're sorry that we have not been able to respond as quickly as we would have liked."

reported that last week the airport said it is "unlikely that any vehicles will be salvageable".

The blaze is thought to have been ignited by a diesel vehicle that had just entered the building around 9pm on Tuesday, October 10.

A source claimed the driver was forced to leap from the car while it was still moving to escape the flames.

From there, an inferno ripped through the building, with firefighters forced to work through the night to try and bring the blaze under control.

Five people were rushed to hospital, - including firefighters who were trying to battle the blaze.

Luton Airport was forced to close for 18 hours, leaving tens of thousands of passengers in limbo.

Jetsetters who had parked their motors in the short-term car parks were also eagerly waiting answers.
