A fire at an electrical substation near Heathrow Airport in London caused a widespread power outage, shutting down the airport and disrupting flights. The London Fire Brigade managed to bring the blaze under control, but the impact on flights is expected to last for several days. Passengers were diverted to other airports, such as Gatwick, Charles de Gaulle, and Shannon, causing significant travel disruptions. United Airlines, Singapore Airlines, and other carriers were forced to cancel or divert flights. The closure of Heathrow Airport is expected to last until 11:59 p.m. Friday, causing massive disruptions and delays. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and emergency services are working to minimize disruption to homes and businesses affected by the power outage. The U.K. government had previously approved the construction of a third runway at Heathrow Airport to improve connectivity. The London Fire Brigade and other emergency services are urging people to stay away from the area as crews work to extinguish the blaze and restore power to affected areas.
