CODE 94 at Heathrow Terminal 2
Well Graham and I started working at Heathrow about a week ago now. All we have to do is stand beside security and holla “no liquids,cremes or lighters,” continuosly. This is a lot more tiring than it seems. Standing up for 8 hours straight. The pay isn’t too bad though at £8.75.
Anyway, on the 11th they evacuated Terminal 2. Absolute chaos. The terminal was closed for about 4 hours due to some lunatic leaving a bag with a bomb inside. Bloody berk. Once we got back inside the queues meandered outside. Of course we had the job of directing. There we were, megaphones in hand, shouting. We made a mention into a couple of papers.
Dave Winship, travelling to Zimbabwe on a 7pm flight, said it looked unlikely that he would leave on time.
“What annoys me more than anything else is that there is no information,” he said.
“They’re relying on some poor bloke shouting down the queue. If I’m at the end how am I supposed to know when they are calling my flight?”
