New Delhi: To cover a long distance in a short time, travelling by plane is the most preferred choice of most people all over the world. However, a technical problem at the airport may cause hours to get out of the terminal.
In a similar manner, passengers at London’s Heathrow airport have to wait hours due to a technical snag in the baggage system at Terminal 2 of the airport on Saturday.
A few passengers said there was a two-hour delay in reclaiming their baggage. Frustrated passengers also shared photos and videos of the incident.
The video shows the chaotic sea of passengers’ baggage on Twitter.
Sharing a video of the airport, a passenger wrote on the social media platform, ”Absolute chaos at Heathrow where all passengers are asked to drop their baggage at level 0 and hope it will reach destination one or two days later.”
