Climate Change Protestors Cause Heathrow Chaos
by Daniel McCarthy /
A highway leading to London’s Heathrow Airport was blocked by climate change protestors on Tuesday, causing trouble for travelers trying to get to Europe’s busiest airport.
The protestors, who have since been arrested, blocked the approach to terminals 2 and 3 at Heathrow by parking three cars horizontally across the road. They were gathered to protest the construction of a third runway at the airport and the impact it would have on climate change and the local area.
The tunnel was reopened as of 10:30 GMT on Tuesday morning.
