Heathrow airport in London fire causes major flight disruptions
Description
March 21, 2025
A massive fireball lit up the sky near Heathrow Airport overnight as an electrical substation caught fire, forcing the airport to close down. The fire led to the cancellation or diversion of over a thousand flights, affecting more than 2000,000 passengers. Among those impacted were at least 16 Air Canada flights and two from WestJet. Redmond Shannon reports from London.
