Well done ATC

Kudos to the chaps at Swanwick and Heathrow for demonstrating how to handle an emergency yesterday afternoon.

Korean Air 747F enroute Chicago-Brussels declares an emergency after a main cargo deck fire indication and opts to divert in to LHR.

Heathrow, which is on westerlies with a 5kt SW surface wind, suspends 27R departures/27L arrivals to accommodate an expedited straight-in approach and landing by the Korean on 09L (300kt IAS at FL70 over Swindon).
