Heathrow airport's airside operations team do a check on the airport's northern runway after UK airspace was closed due to ash from an erupted Icelandic volcano spreading over the majority of Great Britain.
U.S. AND UK AVIATION SOOOO DIFFERENT!!! WE DO RUNWAY INSPECTIONS AT ABOUT 50 TO 90 MILES AN HOUR DEPENDING ON THE AIRPORT, THERE ACTUALLY WALKING, UNBELIEVABLE!!! IN THE U.S. THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER BY AN A380 ALREADY!!!! AND WE USE SOME TYPE OF AMERICAN BULL CRAP, THEY DRIVE LAND ROVERS!!!!
Is it really necessary to have 5 Range Rovers crawl alongside the inspectors? Wouldn't one be more than sufficient to transport all of them after the job's done? It's a rather obvious and simple-to-implement measure for some governmental savings....
The lights are probably just procedure...otherwise they'd be called into their supervisors room...

@maliksaadat410 I wouldn't necessarily say that checking a runway during an ash cloud crisis is a job best done quickly ; )

@obliviate999 Heathrow is owned by BAA, a plc, not the government. And the 5 Range Rovers made for a good photo op. Nice video.
