Heathrow Airport remains closed after a massive fire at a nearby substation left Terminals 2 and 4 without power. Counter-terrorism police are now leading the investigation, citing the impact on critical national infrastructure. The Met Police stated there is no indication of foul play but emphasized an "open mind" as inquiries continue. London Fire Brigade confirmed 10% of the fire is still burning, affecting 5,000 homes. Thousands of passengers face cancellations, with eyewitnesses calling the fire "apocalyptic." Authorities are working to restore power and minimize disruptions, but Heathrow warns delays could extend for days.
