Script:



"On the night of March 20, 2025, a massive fire erupted at the North Hyde electrical substation in Hayes, approximately 1.5 miles north of Heathrow Airport. The blaze, which began around 11:23 PM GMT, led to a significant power outage affecting over 16,000 homes and businesses in the area."

"Emergency services swiftly responded, deploying ten fire engines and seventy firefighters to combat the inferno. Approximately 150 residents were evacuated as a safety precaution."

The power outage forced Heathrow Airport, one of the world's busiest aviation hubs, to announce a complete shutdown until at least 11:59 PM on March 21. This unprecedented closure has led to the cancellation of over 1,300 flights, affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers worldwide."

"Passengers are advised to contact their airlines for rebooking options and to avoid traveling to the airport until further notice. The disruptions are expected to have a cascading effect on global air travel in the coming days."

Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, with counter-terrorism police leading the inquiry due to the critical nature of the infrastructure involved. However, there is currently no evidence to suggest foul play."
