I normally don't peddle to these types of questions, but i guess like all humans I'm fairly curious. I was flying back through Maastricht airspace earlier this evening when all Heathrow bound aircraft were told to come back to min clean. The controller told everyone that an aircraft had had a bird strike which had caused a fire and one runway was closed pending investigation. Everyone was told to expect a 25-30 min delay, however when a/c were hitting LAM they were given significantly longer EAT's. I don't operate to LHR so have nothing else to add, but would normally expect to read something like this on the BBC app or pprune, but nothing.

Again apologies, but my interest got piqued.
