Hundreds of thousands of passengers have had their travel plans thrown into disarray by Heathrow’s closure
A fire at an electricity substation caused a major power outage, shutting down Heathrow Airport and disrupting travel for thousands. Flights have resumed as the airport works to return to normal operations. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has ordered an urgent investigation into the incident, and Heathrow has launched an internal review of its crisis management plans. The airport added extra flights to help accommodate stranded passengers.
