A fire at an electrical substation caused a power outage, leading to the cancellation of over 1,300 flights and the closure of Heathrow Airport. Limited flights resumed in the evening, with a full operation expected tomorrow. The fire is considered "non-suspicious," and investigations are ongoing. The airport CEO apologized for disruptions but defended the response, citing the unprecedented power loss.
