Caused by a fire at the airport.

VERY IMPORTANT

Fire at a substation near the airport. The airport itself is OK but they are not taking chances.

olaolaking:
If this was Nigeria. Illiterate Amakas who had never left the shore of agulu will force their says on us:

Uggo: It can never happen in sane lands
Shineddu: Nigeria is finished
HEffeanyi: Incompetent Foolanis are in charge
HEze: Nigeria is a zoo

You forget the "This would never happen if they didn't steal Peter Obi's mandate, it didn't happen when he was a two term governor in Anambra blah blah balablu blah"

Developing countries as it's generally labelled 🤔😭

Ttipsy:
Technical issues
It’s rare unlike other poor countries

Ok









Imagine being able to print replacement skin, bone, muscle and even organs.

I just don't understand how some people think and analyse situations. Some were even jubilating, comparing nigeria and Uk. The reason for the power outage is clearly stated. Fire outbreak at nearby substation that supply's electricity to the airport and thousands of homes nearby. Such circumstances are bound to occur. Is has noting to do with your level developments. Unlike our country called Nigeria where corruption and bad leadership has eaten deply into us. We should better go fix our country and hold our leaders accountable.

Uchesis:
See them... Jubilating that there is power outage in the Uk.


Adelabu must be dancing skelewu by now.



No light for 2 weeks now in my area

hausa boys vandalise our transformer last week or so, no hope for light in my area next 3 to 6 months

Tochitee:
Monkies from the barren landlocked part of the country have said several times that you can’t have outage in developed countries.

outage in question wasn't sabotage. When last did the announce of no light affecting thousands of people? There is steady power supply

Bosman17:
What do you mean by “ in no time…” you sabi read so? The caption says …”all day” If you never see anything good in Nigeria, you can never make it in Nigeria…

Pele Omo Naija. And Nigeria will happen to you too in due time.

btoks:
Generators sha for an airport that massive. Handles more than 15 times our own MMIA. I doubt dem fit rely on generators.
Major impact if the power station /supply can't be fixed soon. Chai

Re Back up system


Heathrow has now responded to earlier criticism, including from IATA, on its back-up energy systems, saying they worked “as expected” when the substation fire started.

In a statement quoted by PA, it said:

“We have multiple sources of energy into Heathrow.

But when a source is interrupted, we have back-up diesel generators and uninterruptable power supplies in place, and they all operated as expected.

Our back-up systems are safety systems which allow us to land aircraft and evacuate passengers safely, but they are not designed to allow us to run a full operation.

As the busiest airport in Europe, Heathrow uses as much energy as a small city, therefore it’s not possible to have back-up for all of the energy we need to run our operation safely.

“We are implementing a process which will allow us to redirect power to the affected areas, but this is a safety critical process which takes time, and maintaining safety remains our priority, so we have taken the decision to close the airport for today.”

the this can't happened in sine country. imagine a whole Heathrow airport shutting down for a whole day.

if nah our country the whole of the internet would have been on fire saying Nigeria is the worst country

Stop wasting your time trying to argue with these irredeemable lots. Yours truly predicted this several hours ago.

Captain6:
You didn’t read that there was a fire incident that caused the outage? Is Nigeria’s power outage as a result of disaster?

Major incidents also happen in developed countries, the difference is that these don't occur frequently and they ensure they learn lessons/put steps in place to reduce the probability of reoccurrence.

Now let's look at the issue of fuel tanker explosions in Nigeria, this would ordinarily be major incidents but this still occurs frequently in Nigeria. Same with grid collapse etc

"They took light!!!"
