‘Fire shuts Heathrow’ and ‘Kate’s year of courage’
Saturday’s paper was dominated by Friday chaos at Heathrow Airport. The Guardian reported that the government said that after a fire broke out in the electrical substation, there were “questions” to answer “not working”. It said the shutdown stopped “about 1,300 planes” and destroyed “thousands of global travelers” and took photos of some travelers at the airport, who checked the latest information on their phones.
The Daily Telegraph also focused on the political response to the closure of Heathrow Airport, citing the response of Energy Minister Ed Miliband, “It makes the Heathrow institutions look vulnerable, so we have to learn”. The Telegraph further reported that Miliband was one of those who opposed the expansion of Heathrow Airport, and that “some people were worried that the ranks of the third runway would prevent the wider modernization of the airport”.
In my coverage of this story, I quoted Heathrow Chief Thomas Woldbye, who reported that he apologized for the chaos, “Acknowledge that we can’t guard ourselves 100%.” According to energy experts, the main questions about lack of preparation need to be answered.
The Financial Times weekend edition illustrates its report with dramatic photos of the electric substation. The report details the confusion of flights, including some transatlantic flights that “finally arrive where there is space”, including Canadian flights transferred to Newfoundland.
“Irony!” announced the title of the Daily Mail as it questioned “how the Little Fire shut down one of the world’s largest airports.” It reported that the investigation was led by the counter-terrorism police, and “Westminster’s sources blamed human error.” So far, the investigation has found no signs of foul. Also on the front page of the email is also a feature of the newspaper’s royal editor Rebecca English in the “Year of Courage” of Princess of Wales. A year ago, Catherine posted a video message revealing that she was diagnosed with cancer and was in the early stages of chemotherapy – she is now in remission.
The Daily Mirror also plays a role in Kate’s courage as a high year, with a smile image of the princess and fiery scenes unfolding in the front with Heathrow. The airport CEO said the backup generator did start working after the power outage, but the “spark” travel mess and “rooted” splashed on the front, but “but they didn’t have the size to run the entire airport”, the newspaper reported.
The title “Faulted Power” leads the Sun’s front page with a somewhat weird “Y” like the title on the classic TV comedy show is cheating. The paper reports how the fire at the substation was “humiliated by the airport.”
The Times placed the airport’s executives in front of Heathrow and the center of coverage, titled “Heathrow chaos puts bosses on the shooting line.” The paper highlights the functions of one of the columnists Caitlin Moran and describes some of the privileges she absorbs to mark the 50th trip around the sun – some of the privileges that Botox is not excluded.
The Daily Express used a full page to spread the campaign of British veterans, saying the country “can’t give up on our last World War II hero”. The paper says that today’s veterans called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer not to give up on British war heroes, and as the document reports, pleading reports arrived after the government’s plan dried up. It continues that this could lead to a lack of anniversary events planned for veterans this summer.
The Daily Star said, “Scattering the Cushion,” referring to the comments of broadcaster Adrian Chiles in the Guardian column the day before. The editors of the stars are obviously consistent, as their title adds “Just Say No!!!” with a triple exclamation mark that emphasizes their disgust.
