Fire crews have put the blaze out now, and authorities say there is no evidence of foul play. Many planes sit idle at the airport and more than a hundred flights were diverted while approaching at the time of the power loss. Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world, and the knock-on effect is expected to affect hundreds of thousands of travelers.
