7:58Now PlayingSecurity experts asked if 'Russian operatives' could have caused Heathrow shutdown | LBC
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTom Swarbrick speaks to security experts Paul Kehoe and Dr Bob Seely about the chaos caused by the shutdown of Heathrow.
Over 1,300 flights have been cancelled today at Europe’s busiest airport, causing misery for tens of thousands of passengers.
Investigations into the causes of the fire are underway, including the involvement of counter-terror police.
Tom's guests dive into why this major disruption is a worrying sign of vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. They discuss the increasing ease with which sophisticated attacks—potentially linked to state actors like Russia—can target transport hubs like Heathrow.
They also note that, while hard evidence is scarce, a pattern of disruption is emerging, with Russia possibly exploiting organised crime networks for covert operations.
