A massive fire at an electrical substation near London's Heathrow Airport on Friday led to a significant power outage, forcing the airport to shut down operations until midnight. This closure resulted in the diversion of at least 120 flights and the cancellation of over 1,000 scheduled flights, affecting the travel plans of hundreds of thousands of passengers worldwide. The fire prompted the evacuation of approximately 150 individuals and left thousands of properties without electricity in the surrounding areas. Airlines such as British Airways and Emirates have advised passengers to avoid traveling to the airport until further notice, as disruptions are expected to continue in the coming days.
