Heathrow Airport has been closed until midnight after a fire at a west London electrical substation caused a major power outage. Passengers were urged to avoid the airport, while British Airways suspended all flights indefinitely. More than 1,350 flights and nearly 291,000 passengers were affected. The London Fire Brigade deployed 70 firefighters and 10 engines to Hayes, evacuating 150 people and leaving hundreds of homes without power. "Significant disruption is expected over the coming days," Heathrow officials said. Authorities are working to restore power, but no timeline has been provided.
