Hundred of people die at Heathrow airport to protest?
If you are spotting number of people on the floor of Heathrow Airport, while taking a flight than don’t worry because they are not dead and they are just pretending to be . Well you will be surprised to know that they are not sleeping or resting but are actually protesting.
The protesters peacefully laid on the floor to and also read out testimonies from communities that have been affected by climate change, and urged holidaymakers to think about the impact of their flight on the environment.
One of the protester explained “‘Expanding airports is completely irresponsible and will bring us out of reach of our own targets to stop climate change.” ‘This problem isn’t being caused by business or normal families taking a holiday, but a wealthy elite ‘binge flying’, often to second homes.
‘Yet it’s poorer countries that are the hardest-hit by climate change, even though they have done the least to cause the problem. ‘Expanding Heathrow is incompatible with creating a fairer and more equal world.’
And as far as official are concerned they are expected to support expansion plans at either Heathrow or Gatwick in the coming weeks.
A spokesman for Heathrow Airport said: ‘A peaceful demonstration earlier this afternoon at Heathrow Airport had no operational impact, and we continue to operate normally.
‘There were temporary diversions very briefly earlier as a precaution, but all roads are open as per usual now.’
