Depends. Did Heathrow elect to save on use of system charges by removing their secondary power supply from Laleham (I don't know.) If they did, heads ought to roll.

Well, I can't answer your question. Surely though, this once in a lifetime occurrence shouldn't mean someone losing their job. As with aviation accidents, when something goes wrong, we learn.

But the loss of a single point of supply is not a once-in-a-lifetime event. It's quite likely. The national control centre, where I once worked, is fed from two different substations for precisely this reason. It's a basic design principle.

Well, i think you make a very good point. That said, I am what used to be known as an OAP, which means I'm only 11 years younger than the airport, and I don't recall this occurrence before. From my point of view it is once in a lifetime.
