I just hope this sudden power outage at Heathrow of all places doesn't have any fatal consequences. And hope it has been controlled.

It will definitely affect a lot of flights, but at the same time thank God it did not cause any major accidents.

Yes that's the most important thing that nothing serious went wrong .So just staying few hours without light isn't too bad

Yes, the airport became fully operational after a day. It definitely caused some bit of chaos by all rescheduling of flights and stuff. But fortunately, nothing major damage happened as things were brought in control in time before the fire could spread and make more damages. The flight schedule chaos must have been streamlined in short time.
