Bit suspect that a fire that clobbers a major part of UK infrastructure happens in the same week moves are being made to install European armed forces in Ukraine.

Obviously speculation I know yadda yadda...

Probably affected the training ground which is just the other side of the M4.

Smells like a trout farm in here

So, what you are really saying: we should expect a points deduction!

Well it is being investigated by counter terrorism police now so there is obviously something up.

Begs the question how a fire at one sub station can close Heathrow. Why no back up.

There is not yet any indication of foul play but the CT police have been brought in just to check as they have a more thorough approach.

I guess we're now living in an era where anything like this has to now be treated as suspicious.

Huge dose of over acting.

No, that would be just silly.

More like we lose the whole training ground as there was Palidiniesqe paperwork filed on completion...

Back up supply affected by the fire too...

But as we said at work, you would think another sub could have kicked in

I'm leaning towards a lack of maintenance and overloaded substation, although I also read somewhere that Heathrow removed its diesel backup generators recently as a part of the move to net zero.

Nah, fair play to 'em, they ordered some Duracell batteries from Amazon but some towrag nicked the parcel from outside.

Still got back up generators and a UPS system which kicked in as designed, unfortunately they are only designed to keep life safety systems going.
The real question should be why hasn’t Heathrow got a dual power supply fed from different sub stations that automatically switches over in the event of failure.

They do but the 500 metre extension cord that runs across the M4 got cut.

When you reach the place beyond thoughts, the only thing you'll find is love and the only purpose of life becomes to ease the suffering of others.
