Heathrow Terminal 4 Reopens After Hazardous Materials Scare

 

                                            London Heathrow Airport. 


London’s Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4 has reopened after a temporary closure on Monday evening due to a suspected hazardous materials incident. The terminal’s check-in area was evacuated around 5:01 PM BST as emergency services — including the London Fire Brigade, Metropolitan Police, and London Ambulance Service — responded to reports of a possible threat.

Specialist crews conducted a thorough assessment, and train services to the terminal were briefly suspended during the investigation. Approximately 21 people were assessed for minor symptoms such as breathing difficulties or irritation, with one individual taken to hospital for further evaluation.

By 8:00 PM, authorities confirmed no hazardous substances were found, and the terminal was declared safe for operations. While dozens of flights experienced delays of up to three hours, other terminals at Heathrow continued to operate normally throughout the incident.

Airport officials have apologized for the disruption and urged passengers to check with their airlines for any residual delays. The cause of the initial alarm remains under investigation.
