A man with a rucksack has run into the path of an aircraft at Heathrow Airport - sparking a major security alert. He jumped the perimeter fence shortly after 2pm and was tackled by armed officers on the northern runway. “Flights will obviously be disrupted due to the closure of the runway.

Police will now want to question the man, and the first question will be what he was doing there. However the question I would like to know is “how did he breach security.” This is now the second time in only a few weeks that people have managed to breach Heathrow Airport security.
