At London Hitrovo airport on Thursday night, a fire occurred at a transformer station, eventually destroying the country's largest aircraft. The airport, as his leadership, will still close on Friday. Perhaps the difficulties will continue all weekends and part of next week. Many flights are forced to change their routes and to other airports in different countries. The British trapped in foreign countries did not imagine how they would come to their homeland.

The most loaded airport of the United Kingdom was forced to close on Friday after its main transformer station exploded and caught fire last night last night Air port on the western suburb of London of Heis.
Only on Friday, about 200,000 people are said to drive over Khacrov. According to the Daily Mail, the chaos caused by the airport closing will continue on weekends and next week.
At least 1357 flights have been canceled, redirected or detained on Friday. A number of aircraft, who arrived in London, were able to land at other airports of the United Kingdom. However, many people have been filled as much as possible, including the second largest Gatwik airport in London.
Dozens of flights were headed to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Lyon and other European cities. Some aircraft were even forced to sit in New York, Los Angeles and Delhi. Tens of thousands of people have been locked abroad.
More than 16,300 houses in West London also lost power, because the fire at the voltage transformer continued to rage. All trains until whentrovo were also canceled.
The airport, in which every 45 seconds landed and removed the plane, closed the door at 2 am Friday and ordered passengers not to the station.
The fire broke out around 23:30 on Thursday, and although the fact that firefighters work all night, part of Transformer continues to be brilliant. Police opened an investigation of a major incident, while investigators discovered the cause of the fire.
The need to close the airport due to the failure of a transformer station raises serious questions for Khacrov's leadership. High supply claims that the airport actually has reserve power supply systems, but activates emergency systems for the entire airport that requires some time and is not immediately.
A representative of Hitrou Airport said: From the fire at the voltage transformer supplied to the airport, the significant turning off the electricity was observed in Khutrov. To ensure the safety of our passengers and colleagues, the airport whentrov will close until 23:59 on March 21. Passengers are not recommended to the airport.
The close of the airport door causes world chaos in the field of tourism. The British couple, trapped in China, had no ideas, how she would go home after canceling their flight.
Sharon Tauers and her husband told the Daily Mail that they were trapped at the airport, because the strict visa policy did not allow them to settle down in the hotel: my husband and I was stuck in China. We have to fly out at 13:00 local time. Instead, we were trapped at the airport, without the smallest idea of how and the time we returned home! We cannot resolve in a hotel due to strict visa policy. To return to the airport, we need a plane card so that the customs can confirm when we leave the country.
But it is clear that in this situation, there is no discount. Social networks are flooded with dozens, if not hundreds, messages in the concussion of the chaos of passengers. People like people do not understand what to do now. Many British wrote that they just wanted to return home, some people had a trip to their sick parents.
The flights will land until theTrovo has been redirected, and, according to Flightradar24, this will affect at least 1351 flights until theTrovo and from there. According to Cirium, involved in aviation data, this means closing can reach 145 thousand tourists.
The representative of Flightradar24, Jan Pechenik said that the close of the airport door did not plan to violate flights around the world: when thetrov was one of the largest centers in the world.
European airports are currently preparing for the aircraft to go too far to return, and will have to be accepted in their aircraft gangs.
More than 70 firefighters and ten fire engines arrived at the scene of the case on Nepl-Avenue in Hais to deal with the fire. About 150 people were evacuated from the injured area and a 200 meter string was installed for precautions.
The firefighter asked the local residents to keep the windows and the door closed to prevent the invasion of a significant amount of smoke from Muslims entering the house. According to the PowerTrack website, it is thought that about 16,000 households were injured. The energy company of Scotland and the South has confirmed a major power outage in surrounding areas.
