Terminal 5 flashmob: Stop Heathrow Expansion

27 March 2008: Today saw the public opening of Heathrow's new Terminal 5 to the public. Unfortunately for the aviation industry and government - who wanted this to be a chance to promote their case for airport expansion - a large section of that public is vehemently opposed to unsustainable aviation growth, and not afraid to show it.

So at exactly 11am this morning, hundreds of people stripped down to reveal identical "Stop Airport Expansion T-shirts", and to highlight the problems caused by airport expansion and unsustainable aviation growth.

Never thought I'd say this but 'hurray for BA!' They've been so crap on Terminal 5 that now no one's going to trust them with a 3rd runway - imagine the chaos they'd cause with it!
