Heathrow out of action

Innovation or did we already have perfection and just didn't know it?

It's an irony, one of the cheapest and cleanest means of transportation going, sadly used in the main to move coal for burning.

Whichever way you look, the outcome is still pollutant. Biofuels and renewables is the healthy way forward, but who can be arsed with that.

Some/many are, but just not a majority. The initial investment vs. the payoff is what bothers everyone I think.

We have a ton of solar farms and people who have and maintain solar panels at home and it eases their life so much, but at what point will it be abused? Solar farms do take up a lot of farmable space for the most part, and most big city buildings that would be great for it don't want to hear about it for some reason...

Can’t wait for the aviation bores to tell us how this could have been avoided.

Hopefully another volcano erupts

Didn't this happen at Manchester Airport last year? Just checked - June 2024.

So this is a common fault in all our airports on our underfunded energy infrastructure? Whose got electrical supply problems due to chronic underinvestment and record shareholder profits on their bingo card?

I have Putin and his minions on mine.

I'd always go with the answer my old boss used to give that's it more likely cock up rather than conspiracy - but at the same time, I think it shows just how easy it would be to push the UK into chaos if so desired.

Maybe just another accident where an ethnically Russian maintainance man unfortunately caused it to occur.

Bit like the captain of that ship the other week.

Woefully ill prepared by the sounds of things.

Too many of these things happening at the moment.

Government will try to cover it up at much as they can as not to panic the public and admit we’ve lost control.

Mrs Mrs cousin has been over here from New Zealand for a few months and was due to fly to Canada today. He drove to Manchester early hours this morning as he was due to fly from there to Heathrow and then on to Canada… flight cancelled so he drove back here and then got a call to go back to Manchester to catch a flight this afternoon to Paris and then on to Canada…. I couldn’t be arsed with all that

Control was lost decades ago at this point though.

An unfortunate and completely accidental fire at a nearby substation has shut down Heathrow Airport.
Disruption expected to last days.

Completely accidental / coincidental and absolutely not related to current geopolitical issues.

Heathrow Airport reopens for some flights after fire led to 'unprecedented' shutdown

The blaze triggered a "significant power outage" that resulted in more than 1,000 flights to and from the airport being cancelled.

Woefully ill prepared by the sounds of things.

A light dusting of snow or some leaves on the rail tracks are usually enough

 

[Bedfordblue]

No reason to suspect foul play but the investigation being led by the Mets Counter Terrorism Command…….
