This grifting fuckwit claims the backup generators didn't work because they'd been removed for Net Zero when they hadn't been and did, and doesn't realise that the chances of the backup generators powering an airport the size of a small city is about the same as his having weekly MP's surgeries in Clacton.

But the fallout looks set to run and run. And when we say fallout, what we really mean is the desperate search to find someone to blame, a fact hunt with a […]

Heathrow closure: what caused the fire and why did it bring down the whole airport?
The closure of Heathrow Airport has caused chaos, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. More than 1,300 flights have been affected, about 120 of these were already in the air.
A panel of experts offer their insights – and consider the implications of such a major incident.
The Conversation UK · Heathrow closure: what caused the fire and why did it bring down the whole airport?
Airports should implement disaster recovery procedures for at least these reasons:
* Ensure passenger and staff safety.
* Maintain operational continuity.
* Protect critical infrastructure.
* Facilitate emergency response.
* Minimise financial losses.
* Comply with regulations.
Got it #HEATHROW?
The #Energy Secretary has commissioned the National Energy System Operator (NESO) to investigate the power outage that disrupted #Heathrow #Airport and the surrounding area. This follows restoration of power to all affected customers. The investigation aims to understand the incident’s causes and improve the UK’s energy resilience. The government is committed to preventing future disruptions through its Plan for Change, which includes boosting energy security. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband emphasised the importance of learning from the incident to protect critical national infrastructure. NESO will collaborate with stakeholders, including Heathrow, to ensure a thorough review. Initial findings are expected within six weeks.

A little investigation reveals that perhaps 25% of #Heathrow activity isn't completely useless. Most is simply boredom expressed as kilograms of Jet A converted into kilograms of CO2.
Anyway, restless folk with itchy feet becoming angry because the choices they made resulted in non-existential inconvenience are critical to politicians, so here we are, facing an exaggerated crisis.
If Heathrow was appropriately sized it would certainly be easier to maintain.

Good afternoon. It's 3PM, Saturday, 22nd March. The headlines: #Heathrow #Airport resumes full operations following an unprecedented shutdown caused by a power station blaze, affecting over 1,350 flights. The incident, which led to diversions across Europe, is not deemed suspicious by officials. The Comic Relief telethon has garnered £34m and #boxing icon George Foreman has died aged 76. Three rockets have been launched towards #Israel from southern #Lebanon. #BBC #News
