LHR Incident tonight 2025z ???
What has just happened at LHR?
Seems to have been a lot of panic and hot air on 118.5 with the controller calling out "we have lost 27R all hold positions".
Controller had a lot of fear in his voice in dealing with a close prox of a "Air Malta" and "Speedbird" asking them both to immediate right turn and "climb climb". I have never heard anything like it.
BA B777 forced go around whilst attempting to land 27L at the same time.
Down to single runway ops 27R only at some stage then controller asking a/c to visiually switch to 27L.
Did the distant storm tracking to the NW have anything to do with it? ATIS reporting gusting 26-40kts with windshear reported on short finals.
What on earth was going on, sounded like chaos.
