NNPC and SNEPCO Enhance Security and Healthcare in Lagos

Unknown emergencies, health, healthcare and medicine, medicine and healthcare, security

<p>
 <p>
  The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Ltd along with Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited have provided vehicles such as a specialized ambulance to enhance security and healthcare services in Lagos State as part of their corporate social responsibilities.
 </p>
 <p>
  Recently, the Lagos State Security Trust Fund acquired two new vehicles, and an intensive care unit ambulance was also provided to the Federal Medical Centre in Ebute Metta.
 </p>
 <p>
  At the ceremony for handing over the security vehicles, Isaac Akinjogunla, the Country Security Manager for SNEPCo—who stood in for the Managing Director, Ronald Adams—stated that this action "demonstrates our commitment to supporting the initiatives undertaken by the Lagos State Government aimed at ensuring safety within the state."
 </p>
 <p>
  He emphasized the importance of using the vehicles cautiously and maintaining them properly to ensure that the community can reap the benefits of this donation.
 </p>
 <p>
  In an address delivered by Mrs Bunmi Lawson, the Deputy Manager, External Relations, at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Upstream Investment Management Services, Oluwaseyi Omotowa stated: "These vehicles will enhance the operational capabilities of security forces, thereby fostering a more secure community for all inhabitants. Such contributions align with our broader efforts in supporting education and health care initiatives across the region, showcasing our comprehensive strategy towards societal investments."
 </p>
 <p>
  Dr. Abdurrazaq Balogun, the Executive Secretary/CEO of LSSTF, expressed his gratitude to NNPC-SNEPCo for their kind act, stating: "In collaboration, we can strive for a safer and more secured setting where our enterprises flourish and our families remain protected."
 </p>
 <p>
  In 2020, NNPC-SNEPCo contributed 16 vehicles to enhance security measures in Lagos.
 </p>
 <p>
  The specialized ambulance was presented to the Federal Medical Centre in Ebute Metta on behalf of the SNEPCo Managing Director by the Safety and Environment Manager, David Aghaiyo. He stated that this ambulance enhances the overall healthcare system in the area by ensuring prompt transport and immediate medical attention for patients.
 </p>
 <p>
  Dr. Adedamola Dada, who serves both as the medical director and chief executive officer at the medical center, referred to the donated ambulance as a "prayer answered." This gesture will significantly aid the facility in managing the high volume of patients needing emergency transportation.
 </p>
 <p>
  "The social investment fund managed by NNPC-SNEPCo, with contributions from partners such as Total Energies, Exxon, and Nigerian Agip Exploration, includes transformative programs like scholarships, building new educational facilities which consist of ICT centers and digital libraries, healthcare projects, along with vocational training and mentoring through the Shell LiveWIRE initiative," stated the joint venture in an official release.

Review deadly Haiti job

Unknown crime, emergencies, incident, police and law enforcement, politics

The rising number of casualties for the Kenyan police mission in Haiti calls for an urgent review of this deadly assignment.Since the police officers were deployed to the country’s capital Port-au- Prince in June last year, two have paid the ultimate price following clashes with the killer gangs.The latest incident has left another two officers nursing serious injuries, and the situation could get worse as the Haitian gang leaders continue to target the Kenyans. The police officers have in the past one week clashed several times with the gangs.Though sanctioned by the United Nations, the Haiti mission was initially funded by the American government. However, given last November’s change of leadership, there are programmes that are beginning to suffer lack of support. This happens to be one of them.The country was stunned when it was revealed that Sh2.1 billion had been allocated to the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in the financial year 2024/2025. That is a tidy expense on an international project for a country that is struggling to fund health and education, among other key services.The MSS currently has 1,000 security personnel, about three-quarters of them from Kenya. Its objective is to restore security for Haiti to hold elections by February 2026. Heavily armed gangs have killed thousands of people since 2021.It is ironical that Kenya has not just suffered the deaths of its police officers, but is also spending its own money on a foreign mission when its own northeastern counties are increasingly coming under terrorist attacks waged by the Somalia-based Al-Shabaab group, with a number of deaths suffered. The terrorists last month abducted five chiefs in Mandera County and spirited them across the border, where they are still being held captive.The government should reassess the situation in Haiti and, perhaps, recall the police officers from harm’s way.

</p>
<p>
 Unfortunately, West Virginia faces a lot of severe weather at the moment. For tonight going into early tomorrow, some storms could produce damaging winds, large hail and perhaps a tornado or two. Those close to the border of southeastern Ohio could see damaging winds in excess of 75 mph. Tomorrow, there are similar threats, but the
 Storm Prediction Center
 is quick to point out that the exact location of the threats remains uncertain at this time.

</h2>
<p>
 From weather.com with TV meteorologists
 Danielle Banks
 :
</p>
<p>
 Tornadoes show no preference when it comes to striking rural regions or urban centers. However, these whirlwinds tend to gain a reputation for frequently affecting less dense areas due to their vast expanses of open space. Despite looking like small dots from an aerial view, heavily inhabited metropolitan areas remain just as susceptible to tornado damage. Remember, tornadoes are natural phenomena capable of occurring at any location.

</h2>
<p>
 From weather.com on camera meteorologist
 Danielle Banks
 :
</p>
<p>
 You need to stay aware of the possibility of damaging winds even if you do not “see” a tornado. Tornadoes may appear almost transparent until they form a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, plus other dust and debris, which makes them easier to spot.

</p>
<p>
 We might observe some hail damage, particularly to cars, in certain sections of Springfield, Illinois. Approximately 45 minutes ago, hail up to 2 inches in diameter was recorded in the region, accompanied by wind speeds exceeding 50 mph.
</p>
<h2>
 (04:59 p.m. EDT) Portions of Illinois Are Being Impacted for the Second Time This Afternoon

<h2>
 (04:45 p.m. EDT) Tornado Watch Versus Tornado Warning: Know The Difference
</h2>
<p>
 From weather.com on camera meteorologist
 Danielle Banks
 :
</p>
<p>
 A tornado watch is issued when a tornado is possible. That’s your heads up to get prepared and have a plan in place in case you need to seek shelter. Watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center where tornadoes may occur and normally cover numerous counties within a state or states.
</p>
<p>
 However, a tornado warning means that a tornado has been either radar-indicated or sighted by a trained spotter. It could also mean that a tornado is highly likely and you need to seek shelter immediately because there is immediate danger to lives and property. Tornado warnings are issued by your local NWS office.
</p>
<h2>
 (04:31 p.m. EDT) Likely Tornado In Southern Missouri
</h2>
<p>
 From weather.com digital meteorologist
 Jonathan Belles
 :
</p>
<p>
 There was likely a tornado near South Fork, Missouri, just a bit ago. The radar signal is messy, but there was some signal for debris for a time.
</p>
<h2>
 (04:15 p.m. EDT) Roads Closed In Kalamazoo, Michigan
</h2>
<p>
 Heavy rain and flooding shut down several roads in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
</p>
<p>
 From the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office via social media: “Use caution and anticipate water over the road in many low-lying areas.  Do NOT attempt to drive through water... As many motorists are currently finding out, it can be far deeper than expected. If you encounter water, turn around and seek higher routes.”

 Jonathan Erdman
 :
</p>
<p>
 A tornado watch has just been issued for parts of the Mississippi Valley, including eastern Arkansas, northern Mississippi, southeastern Missouri, western Tennessee, western Kentucky, southern Illinois and extreme southwestern Indiana until midnight CDT.
</p>
<p>
 This isn’t a typical tornado watch. NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has deemed this a “
 particularly dangerous situation
 ” (PDS). Essentially, it’s the highest level of tornado watch, in rare situations in which long-track, intense tornadoes are expected. Therefore, if you’re in this watch, pay very close attention to the weather conditions and take shelter immediately if you receive a warning.

<p>
 Local resident Ethan Hoinacki, who shot some of the images, shared this with me via social media: “At around 10 a.m., I was at home — about 3 miles west of Lincoln, out in the country — when the sky to the northwest turned extremely dark. Within minutes, leaves and loose debris started swirling upward, almost like they were being pulled into the sky. It didn’t last long, but it was intense while it did … Once the storm moved on, I headed into town. I own a coffee shop, bakery, and some real estate in Lincoln, so I wanted to check on everything. Most of the west side of town was without power, and emergency crews were already on the scene … Grateful that no one I know was hurt, and thankful for the quick response from our local first responders. Definitely one of those days that reminds you how fast the weather can change.

 (02:13 p.m. EDT) Beware The Danger Of Falling Trees
</h2>
<p>
 Falling trees are another
 underrated danger
 When dealing with tempestuous weather conditions, although there isn’t an all-encompassing registry of fatalities and wounds caused by toppled trees, the National Weather Service monitors incidents involving casualties linked to high winds, which often result in fallen trees.
</p>
<p>
 The wind was held responsible for 71 fatalities across the nation and led to over 210 injuries in 2023, according to the latest data available in the National Weather Service database.
</p>
<p>
 According to the NWS, the 10-year yearly average for wind-related fatalities stands at 57.

 And at the same time, a flash flood warning is issued as this scenario unfolds. One advises you to head for the lowest level of your house, whereas the other recommends seeking elevated terrain. What should be your ideal course of action then?
</p>
<p>
 Based on information from digital meteorologist at weather.com
 Jonathan Belles
 , who
 wrote an article
 In 2018 regarding this specific subject:
</p>
<p>
 Provided that flooding doesn’t pose an immediate danger – such as water rapidly entering or nearing your residence – you ought to relocate to the innermost room at the bottom floor of your structure.
</p>
<p>
 In case flooding continues, you ought to move to the innermost room located at the bottom-most floor within your house where water has not reached.
</p>
<p>
 As usual, you should never remain in a mobile home when severe weather is approaching.
</p>
<p>
 Make certain to reach a decision promptly once a warning is released since time generally becomes scarce. Keep in mind that your choice might differ from your neighbor’s, yet both could still be accurate based on each of your circumstances.

 Even as tornadoes and significant flooding dominate the news, destructive hail poses another considerable danger. This risk is especially pertinent in northern Texas and southern Oklahoma starting early Thursday morning, with potential further occurrences on Friday and Saturday. The Dallas-Fort Worth region, known for frequent springtime hail storms, falls within this affected zone. For those located in these regions who get alerted about severe thunderstorms in the coming days, whenever feasible, ensure your vehicles are parked inside garages or under sheltered areas.

 (11:43 a.m. EDT) Why Wind Can Be The Most Dangerous Part Of A Storm
</h2>
<p>
 Severe thunderstorm winds are no joke—they account for 70% of all severe weather reports and can be just as destructive as a tornado. These winds can snap tree limbs, knock out power, and even send objects crashing through homes or cars.
</p>
<p>
 In some extreme cases, thunderstorms can spawn a
 derecho
 , a long-lived wind storm with gusts over 100 miles per hour.

 (11:35 a.m. EDT) Hoosier Hail, Winds
</h2>
<p>
 From weather.com senior meteorologist
 Jonathan Erdman
 :
</p>
<p>
 This morning, we experienced intense thunderstorms stretching as far north as sections of Indiana and Ohio. Larger hailstones, comparable in size to quarters, along with fallen trees and disrupted power lines, have been noted in the Fort Wayne metropolitan region within Indiana early today. Additionally, several instances of hail have been documented in northwest Ohio. Such occurrences typically arise in the mornings when warm, moist air moves northward during extreme weather conditions.
</p>
<h2>
 (11:26 a.m. EDT) Key Information About Squall Lines
</h2>
<p>
 A storm system stretching across a large part of the Midwest has caused multiple severe weather incidents early today, making it an opportune moment to emphasize why such forms of thunderstorms can pose significant risks.
</p>
<div>
 <span data-embed-id="cfc5e8c6a2194a8ca8cfd24a8dd66730" data-embed-type="social-auto">
 </span>
</div>
<p>
 Squall lines are swift-moving fronts of thunderstorms that can generate powerful gusts, heavy downpours, and occasional twisters. These systems extend over vast distances—often reaching several hundred miles—but remain relatively narrow at around 10 to 20 miles across. On radar imagery, they typically show up as aggressive, arc-like patterns. Should such a front persist and intensify sufficiently, it becomes classified as a derecho—a weather event known for causing damage comparable to hurricanes. Upon spotting an incoming squall line, prepare yourself for strong gales, relentless precipitation, and constant electrical discharges.

<h2>
 (10:49 a.m. EDT) We Recently Concluded an Extremely Busy Month
</h2>
<p>
 From weather.com senior meteorologist
 Jonathan Erdman
 :
</p>
<p>
 It appears more probable than ever that March could conclude with upwards of 200 tornadoes for this year after all data has been confirmed. This phenomenon last occurred in recorded history back in 1950, where the number stood at an unprecedented 234 tornadoes across the country during March 2022.
</p>
<p>
 The event occurred once more in 2023, recording a total of 208 tornadoes.
</p>
<p>
 The increased detection of less intense tornadoes because of advanced technology nowadays surely contributes to this phenomenon. However, this marks the third time in the last four Marches that we've seen at least twice the usual number of tornadoes for March. This frequency is usually more common during April.

<h2>
 (10:38 a.m. EDT) What Time Does the Highest Risk of Tornadic Activity from a Supercell Storm Occur?
</h2>
<p>
 From the senior digital meteorologist at weather.com
 Chris Dolce
 :
</p>
<p>
 The newest forecasts suggest that the highest risk for severe supercell thunderstorms capable of producing powerful, prolonged tornadoes will occur between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Central Daylight Time. This warning covers regions including far northern Louisiana, eastern Arkansas, northwestern Mississippi, western Tennessee, western Kentucky, southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois, and southern Indiana.
</p>
<h2>
 (10:23 a.m. EDT) Buildings Damaged in Nevada, Missouri

<p>
 A potential tornado hit sections of Nevada, Missouri, which lies roughly 90 miles northwest of Springfield. According to local weather accounts, big rigs were flipped over on Interstate 49 near the city limits, and multiple structures had their rooftops ripped away.

 (09:40 a.m. EDT) Current Updates and Future Outlook
</h2>
<p>
 According to Chris Dolce, a senior meteorologist from weather.com:
</p>
<p>
 Currently, a squall line featuring intense to severe thunderstorms extends from Missouri through eastern Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas early this morning. The primary danger comes from damaging wind gusts; however, sporadic tornadoes may also occur. This was evident earlier today when a confirmed tornado touched down just north of Tulsa, resulting in roof and tree damages around Owasso.

 (09:00 a.m. EDT) Weather System Might Deliver 10 To 15 Inches Of Precipitation
</h2>
<p>
 From weather.com digital meteorologist
 Jonathan Belles
 :
</p>
<p>
 What sets apart this particular storm system is that it’s anticipated to collide with a developing heat dome along the U.S. East Coast. The presence of this heat dome will cause the storm system to decelerate and stretch out, ultimately halting its progress across the Ohio Valley region. As a result, heavy rains could pour down over an area extending from Oklahoma to Indiana. By the time everything settles, up to 10 to 15 inches of precipitation may accumulate around where the Ohio River meets the Mississippi.

California Coast on Alert: Dangerous Ocean Conditions Expected

Unknown disasters, emergencies, environmental disasters, news, severe weather

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1wrMXH" data-reference="video"/>
<p>
 The National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists released numerous warnings
 <span>
  on Wednesday warning of
  "hazardous" ocean conditions
  throughout California's complete 840-mile shoreline
 </span>
 .
</p>
<h2>
 Why It Matters
</h2>
<p>
 Wednesday afternoon brought beach-associated weather warnings urging individuals to avoid entering the water or to remain vigilant due to hazardous marine conditions along portions of California’s coast. Additionally, a small craft advisory was issued across the entirety of the state’s shoreline, cautioning mariners to steer clear of the waters as perilous sea states might cause “capsizing or damage to both smaller and larger boats.”
</p>
<h2>
 What to Know
</h2>
<p>
 By Wednesday afternoon, a high surf advisory had been issued for certain sections of California’s coastline.
</p>
<p>
 The ocean-related weather warnings will remain in place until at least early Thursday morning. However, the high surf advisory issued by the NWS office in Los Angeles will remain in place until 4 p.m. PT on Thursday.
</p>
<p>
 In some places, people were told to stay out of the water because the surf was dangerous. Dangers included large breaking waves and rip currents.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CaIrX" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CaIrX.jpg"/>
<p>
 Rip currents are "powerful, channeled currents" that can move faster than an Olympic swimmer, the NWS said.
 If caught in a rip current
 , swimmers are advised to stay calm and swim parallel to the shore until they escape the current. Then, they can angle back and swim to shore.
</p>
<p>
 Large breaking waves up to 10 feet posed a threat at Ventura County beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County beaches.
</p>
<h2>
 What People Are Saying
</h2>
<p>
 <strong>
  NWS meteorologist Rose Schoenfeld, who works at the Los Angeles office, told
  DIwida.Blog & News
 </strong>
 : "The main source of the [waves] is always going to be wind somewhere. This correlates to the wind we have been feeling around the coast. Consistent wind going in a consistent direction not only builds up wind right then and there, but it also can build swells that can travel across the ocean as well."
</p>
<p>
 <strong>
  The National Weather Service office for Los Angeles has issued a high surf advisory:
 </strong>
 The danger of drowning in the ocean has risen. Rip currents have the potential to sweep swimmers and surfers away into deeper waters. Powerful crashing waves may lead to injuries, knock individuals off beaches and rocky areas, and overturn small vessels close to the shoreline.
</p>
<p>
 The warning stated: "Stay out of the water because of hazardous wave conditions, or remain close to guarded towers with personnel. Jetties made of rock can pose extreme danger under these circumstances; avoid them altogether."
</p>
<p>
 <strong>
  NWS Eureka in a small craft advisory:
 </strong>
 "Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions."
</p>
<h2>
 What Happens Next
</h2>
<p>
 The advisories are expected to expire on Thursday.

What we know about the fire that brought London's Heathrow Airport to a standstill

Unknown aviation, disasters, emergencies, incident, infrastructure

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Brh7h" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Brh7h.jpg"/>
<p>
 LONDON (AP) — Heathrow Airport was
 up and running
 Saturday and airlines worked to clear the backlog after a fire at a nearby electricity substation
 knocked out power to Europe's busiest airport
 , disrupting travel plans for hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
</p>
<p>
 The airport said it had made space for extra flights, but it is expected to take days to get stranded passengers to their destinations and displaced aircraft into the proper locations.
</p>
<p>
 Here's a look at what happened and its
 impact on air travel
 .
</p>
<p>
 What happened?
</p>
<p>
 A fire at an electrical substation in west London, about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from the airport, cut power to Heathrow Airport late on Thursday.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnTeD" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnTeD.jpg"/>
<p>
 Residents reported an explosion and a fireball just before midnight. The London Fire Brigade said a transformer holding 25,000 liters (5,000 gallons) of cooling oil caught fire. It said 10 fire engines and 70 firefighters brought the blaze under control after seven hours, but isolated hotspots were still alight 24 hours after the fire started.
</p>
<p>
 National Grid, which maintains energy infrastructure in Britain, said the blaze damaged equipment at the substation and cut power to 67,000 properties, including Heathrow. It said power was restored to all of them by Saturday morning.
</p>
<p>
 The “significant power outage” initially forced Heathrow officials to announce that the airport would be closed until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, but some flights began to resume on Friday evening.
</p>
<p>
 What caused the fire?
</p>
<p>
 Officials said there was no suggestion of foul play, but the cause is still under investigation. The fire brigade said its investigation would focus on the electrical distribution equipment at the substation.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnOhJ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnOhJ.jpg"/>
<p>
 Even so, London's Metropolitan Police Service said counterterrorism detectives were leading the investigation because of the fire's impact on critical national infrastructure.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnM25" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnM25.jpg"/>
<p>
 Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said it was "an unprecedented event.”
</p>
<p>
 “Obviously, with any incident like this we will want to understand why it happened and what if any lessons it has for our infrastructure,” he told Sky News.
</p>
<p>
 How was Heathrow affected?
</p>
<p>
 The closure disrupted the travel plans of around 200,000 people who were expected to travel through Heathrow on Friday. Heathrow advised passengers not to travel to the airport and to contact their airlines to rebook flights.
</p>
<p>
 With all takeoffs and landings canceled, the first impact was on dozens of long-haul flights from North America and Asia that were in the air when the airport was shut down. Some were forced to turn around, while others were diverted to airports around the United Kingdom and Europe.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnM2c" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnM2c.jpg"/>
<p>
 Heathrow-bound aircraft landed at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam; Shannon Airport in western Ireland; Glasgow, Scotland; Manchester, England; Charles de Gaulle in Paris; Lyon, France; and Frankfurt, Germany, among others.
</p>
<p>
 About 4,000 tons of cargo were also stranded by the closure, according to Anita Mendiratta, an aviation and leadership consultant.
</p>
<p>
 How long will the disruptions last?
</p>
<p>
 The disruptions are expected to last for days as airlines move stranded aircraft and flight crews back into position and work to accommodate passengers whose flights were canceled. Mendiratta estimated that it would take two to four days to clear all the backlogs.
</p>
<p>
 “This is an extreme situation where the entire aviation ecosystem is impacted,” she said.
</p>
<p>
 “There will be two things that will be happening as a priority No. 1. First is airport operations and understanding, from an electrical system point of view, what has been impacted, if anything,” she said. “Did anything short out, for instance? What needs to be reactivated? And then how do you literally turn the airport back on again?"
</p>
<p>
 How big is Heathrow?
</p>
<p>
 Heathrow was Europe’s busiest airport last year, with 83.6 million passengers traveling through it. Its closure will have far-reaching impacts because it's a major hub for connecting flights to cities throughout the U.K. and around the world, as well as for travel to London.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnFkt" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnFkt.jpg"/>
<p>
 Does London have other airports?
</p>
<p>
 Yes. Five other air hubs in southeastern England identify themselves as London airports, but they are much smaller than Heathrow. London Gatwick, Britain’s second-biggest airport, handled 43.2 million passengers last year. It's located in the town of Crawley, 28 miles (45 kilometers) south of London.
</p>
<p>
 What’s the bigger picture?

 The fire raises concerns about the U.K.’s ability to withstand attacks or natural disasters that damage critical infrastructure such as communications and power networks, analysts said.
</p>
<p>
 The incident is particularly worrisome given recent comments by Britain’s security services that Russia is conducting a reckless
 campaign of sabotage across Europe
 , said Alan Mendoza, the executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, a London-based security think tank.

<p>
 “The U.K.’s critical national infrastructure is not sufficiently hardened for anywhere near the level it would need to be at to give us confidence this won’t happen again,” he said. “I mean, if one fire can shut down Heathrow’s primary systems ... it tells you something’s badly wrong with our system of management of such disasters.”

 Robin Potter, an expert on resilience at London-based think tank Chatham House, said that successive governments have been slow to respond to repeated recommendations from the National Infrastructure Commission to strengthen the ability of Britain’s power, communications, transport and water networks to withstand major shocks.

<p>
 “We still have yet to see a kind of clear response from the government to those recommendations,” he said. “And we hope that maybe in the government’s upcoming resilience review, which we expect will be published at some point this year, it might seek to address some of those questions.”

 Heathrow defended its response. Its CEO Thomas Woldbye said “the same would happen in other airports” faced with a similar fire.
