Photo: DPAWhen German tabloids started excitedly reporting about a tear gas attack in Frankfurt Airport on Monday morning, the story soon got picked up by international media outlets. Shortly before midday on Monday Bild published a short article with the headline “several injured after tear gas attack!”In the article Bild explained that the attack had taken place at Frankfurt Airport and referred to a tweet from a Max Schneider as their sole form of evidence for the alleged attack. But a strange evidence loop emerged as Max Schneider's tweet referred to Bild as his source of information. But after they could not detect any form of gas in the air they gave the all clear. The source of the passengers’ breathing problems remains unclear.
