[More than 1,300 flights to and
from Heathrow Airport will be
disrupted after a fire broke out
at an electricity substation in Hayes,
two miles from Heathrow,
just before 11:30pm last night
Heathrow has suffered a significant
power outage with officials deciding
to close the airport until at
least 11:59pm tonight with
flight disruption expected to
last well into the weekend
Heathrow confirmed 120 flights were already
in the air when the closure was announced
meaning jets had to be diverted
and rerouted to other airports]


Some were Dumped in Ireland.



[Over 100,000 homes were left
without power overnight but has now
been reduced to around 4,000.
A National Grid spokesperson said
the fire had damaged equipment
and they were 'working at speed
to restore power supplies as
quickly as possible'
London Fire Brigade said 10 fire engines
and around 70 firefighters were still
on the scene at Nestles Avenue
in Hayes just before 6am with part
of a transformer still alight
Around 150 people have been evacuated
from surrounding properties and
a 200-metre cordon has been put in
place as a precaution]

Not Yet.

And much of the Problem
is Cobalt needed
from Central Africa
to get the electric battery going

Ah so more ways for the west to get rich and complain when people from said countries come over

When Congo wanted to be independent they killed the leader, Lumumba

Fire Chief,
Talking to press.

The Times are saying it is Terrorism.


Also
10% still alight.

[Vanessa]

I don't use Heathrow. I usually fly from Stansted.

That’s good

[thesheriff443]

I mistakenly ended up at Heathrow terminal two the other day after taking the wrong exit

[arista]

Counter-Terror Police are looking into
this Fire.

[Crimson Dynamo]

All flights today from Heathrow are NET ZERO

[Nicky91]

yes, terrible


many flights coming in to land, are likely being diverted to Gatwick :think:




also one would think, with europe's busiest airport in mind, you'd check the sub station for any problems more often



also a whole day :skull:


few weeks ago we had a outage here, and that was fixed after 1 and a half hours approx.

but then again ours, was a normal issue, while this one there is fire damage so that might explain why this takes up a whole day to fix

[Cherie]

was this a JSO stunt?

[Beso]

was this a JSO stunt?

That's what I'm thinking Cherie.

Going to be sorry people if it is. Sadly, sad because they believe in what they are doing, and are willing to stand for it.

God bless them if is. That's all I've got to say on that.

7PM
Some 8
BA Flights will leave, tonight.


Tomorrow it will be running,

What is so Dumb
is the backup power is also at the Hayes buggered site

[Livia]

It all sounds fishy to me. Stinks of fish, actually.

It is a bit strange that they can shout terrorism in the dark, yet fail to see it in broad daylight.

Technicians
are saying having a Big Tank
of oil, to cool the system down,
is an old system that should be changed.

[Vanessa]

Why they don't have a good enough back up plan is beyond me.

[Cherie]

Amazes me how they can say no foul play is involved when nobody has been on site yet to document the cause

[bots]

my guess is that it was a russian cyber attack and the authorities don't want to admit how vulnerable we are

[Crimson Dynamo]

they did

Diesel generators

But they got rid coz they want to bleat about net zero

I do not think so.
Just an Old System
with a crazy Oil tank on the unit
