LHR, Terminal 5 . . .

As you may have read, chaos reigns at London Heathrow airport.
Not (just) because 4D works there, 
but the new terminal 5 is screwed up. 

In particular, there are over 15000 bags lying around there,
separated from their owners.
In an attempt to get the bags back to their rightful owners,
they are being driven across 
Europe by the lorryload to Milan.
There they are sorted, and then flown from Milan to their home addresses.
So far so good.

But one set of bags  belongs to a man from Iceland. 
Now there isn't a direct flight from 
Milan to Reyjkavik,
so they forwarded the bags indirectly.

wait for it. wait for it.

via Heathrow ;-)

Don't forget Naoimi Campbell. Is she the first celeb to be cuffed in T5?

Ah!!! A bag was found for Iceland so it was returned to Milan whence it came as somebody thought there'd been a mistake, which, of course there has......

Thankfully I actually work in cargo not baggage so when we lose stuff it's around 500kgs. Precisely how we manage to lose 500kgs of anything is a mystery to all of us but we do on quite a regular basis.

Enough radioactive material has vanished in the last ten years or so to make a small but robust thermonuclear device.

Never mind we all make mistakes eh?
