The National Grid has implemented an "interim solution" to restore power at Heathrow Airport after a fire at a west London substation triggered a massive outage. The network was reconfigured from North Hyde substation, reconnecting affected customers, including Heathrow. However, the solution is temporary, and disruptions continue. British Airways canceled all short-haul flights, while thousands of passengers remain stranded. Counter-terrorism police are investigating, but authorities say there is no indication of foul play. Heathrow warns of ongoing disruption, with hotels and pubs packed with passengers awaiting updates.
