London Mayor Sadiq Khan reported on a fire at a substation near Heathrow Airport, resulting in flight cancellations and investigations by counter-terror police. He stated there's currently no indication of foul play. The incident was classified as major due to its proximity to the airport, affecting tens of thousands of passengers globally. The Mayor emphasized the necessity for government coordination to assist stranded passengers and advised travelers to contact airlines for updates. Efforts are underway to restore normalcy at Heathrow as soon as possible, despite ongoing challenges.
When these sorts of incidents occur of this seriousness, they often declare a major incident... the proximity to Heathrow Airport and so forth.
Clearly because of the proximity of the substation to the airport it's not a surprise the counter-terror teams been involved.
It's really important the government is coordinating to support those passengers who are stranded... contact Heathrow or the airline about what the plans are.
Clearly this will take some time for things to return to normal but it will be as soon as possible.
