Heathrow says it’s fully operational after blackout shutdown

Quick Summary:

The closure forced more than 1,300 flights to be canceled or rerouted on Friday alone.

Hundreds of flights were canceled at Heathrow on July 10, 2006, after authorities in London uncovered a plot to detonate liquid explosives on transatlantic flights.

The blaze erupted at an electrical substation in Hayes, north of Heathrow, just before midnight, causing a local power outage that cut service to thousands of nearby residents and local businesses, and caused some evacuations.
