Big Power Outage Shuts Down Heathrow Airport! ⚡✈️
Hey there! Have you ever been on a plane? Well, something unexpected happened today at London’s Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world! An electrical fire caused a big power outage, and the whole airport had to close! 😮
This morning, a fire broke out in an electrical substation, which is a place that controls electricity for big areas like airports. Because of the fire, all the lights, computers, and systems at the airport stopped working. Without power, the airport couldn’t run safely.
This means more than 1,000 flights won’t be able to take off or land today. That’s a lot of people who won’t get to travel as planned. Imagine being all packed and ready to go, but your flight gets canceled!
If you were planning to fly from Heathrow today, officials are saying don’t go to the airport until it’s safe again. Safety comes first!
Firefighters and engineers are working hard to fix the problem and figure out what caused the fire. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more. Stay tuned!
