A rescue helicopter was used as a giant hairdryer to get rid of water from Eintracht Braunschweig’s waterlogged stadium so that a soccer match could go ahead, a probe into corruption at the world’s second largest automobile club has found. An ADAC director had ordered pilots to hover over the turf to allow a second-tier Bundesliga football game against Dynamo Dresden to go ahead in Germany ADAC directors even went as far as to use the ADAC planes to send their kids on holiday, and so far the ADAC has openly admitted to “around 30” examples of senior club members using emergency helicopters to attend official engagements. ADAC has 12 planes, which are supposed to take vital medical equipment to the scene if any of its 19 million members are in a very serious, hard to reach accident. One is kitted out like an air ambulance. ADAC President Peter Meyer pledged far-reaching reforms and also an extraordinary general meeting – the group’s first since 1948. “We are deeply affected by these current events and are convinced that only a comprehensive package of measures can restore the ADAC’s credibility,” Meyer said, telling reporters that the motorists’ body was planning “fundamental reforms to remedy the current weak spots.” Meyer did not issue a date for the general meeting, which is unlikely to bring together all of the roughly 19 million Germans who hold ADAC membership – many of whom buy into the club primarily for its roadside assistance program.
