Heathrow boss 'went back to bed' as fire shut down airport and saw flights cancelled

Heathrow was closed on Friday after a fire at a nearby electrical depot raged on, with airport boss Thomas Woldbye reportedly going to bed instead of dealing with the crisis



Heathrow Airport closed Friday due to a nearby electrical fire. CEO Thomas Woldbye reportedly went to sleep while his deputy made the decision to close the airport. This drew criticism, but Heathrow defended their response, stating they reopened in 24 hours and safely accommodated over 250,000 passengers the following day. An investigation into the power cut has been launched.
