British police are an investigation into an investigation into the cause of fire near Heathrow Airport, signaling that the possibility of sabotage was taken seriously, at least as a precautionary measure. But officials said there was no direct evidence that it was involved in being twisted.
After the flames in the electric substation and the subsequent interruption of the current, the scale of the resulting chaos asked the unpleasant issues of the British government on security measures that protect key traffic hubs and the resistance of old infrastructure in the country.
Metropolitan police in London said that experts on the fight against terrorism took office “given the place of the substation and the influence that this incident had on the critical national infrastructure.”
Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, said that “it is not unusual” that specialized officers are involved in the investigation of such a great incident, and he told Sky News that “there is no reason for anyone to worry or alarm.”
Because the fire is under control, but still burning, neither is nothing excluded.
In a statement, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was “receiving regular updates” about the situation in Heathrow and “in close contact with partners on the field.” He added that he knew that the interruption was “caused by trouble and disorders, especially for those who travel or without electricity in their homes.”
Heathrow spokeswoman said on Friday afternoon that some flights would continue later during the day, adding that officials were hoping that the airport would be completely operating until Saturday.
John McDonnell, a representative of Hayes, an area where the fire broke out, said on Friday afternoon that every investigation would need to be viewed “why the safety arrangements failed” and that the infrastructure could be so vulnerable.
“There are lessons that have to be learned here,” he told reporters.
