Travel Delays Because of Ice and snow Anger Brits, Europeans

Hell hath no fury such as the traveler scorned. Or so it appears in England and in continental Europe. Would-be travelers browsing airports and being delayed generally vented frustration yesterday as ice and snow still wreak havoc with flights and other travel plans. Transportation officials in England were using a awkward time coping with ice and snow and looking desperately to pay off the remnants of your recent storm from runways, high-speed train tracks and roads. Heathrow Airport was the worst place of all, and saw thousands of stranded travelers strewn about as flights were cancelled.London Mayor Boris Johnson expressed it best when he noted, “It can’t be beyond the wit of man surely to get the shovels, the diggers, the snow-plows or whatever needs doing to the snow from underneath the planes, to find the planes moving and to have an overabundance than one runway going.” Heathrow remained chaos yesterday whilst flights were getting into and away from other European hubs. Eurocontrol, the environment traffic control agency for your airport noted how the situation at Heathrow had become “chaotic,” an assessment that may seem like an understatement to people stranded there.

Officials in the uk have promised an inquiry is going to be launched about the very poor performance from the transportation board, with Transport Secretary Philip Hammond to deal with Parliament in regards to the issues. Noted American Suzie Devoe, stranded in Heathrow, “I just want to go back home, I would like to be around my children. But I’m being held in a horrible limbo.”
