Power Outage at Heathrow Causes Chaos, Stranding Thousands of Travelers

Heathrow Airport will be closed all day Friday after a fire at a nearby electrical substation that supplies it with power.

The fire is still burning, London Fire Brigade says, with no power at Terminal 2 and 4 as well as 5,000 homes nearby.

Counter-terrorism police are involved in investigating the fire as a “precautionary measure”, sources tell the BBC.

Heathrow, Europe’s busiest airport, warns of days of disruption – more than 1,350 flights are thought to be affected today

The implications will stretch far wider than Heathrow, and could impact flights much further afield, writes our transport correspondent
