## Resource

Gatwick Airport ground to a halt yesterday after a major water outage left passengers and staff without running water—no flushing toilets, no handwashing, and bars and restaurants shuttered. The disruption rippled into surrounding areas, sparking social media chaos as travelers struggled with basic needs. Airport officials scrambled to distribute bottled water and deploy backups, while SES Water confirmed ongoing repairs in affected zones. One former MP noted even empty restaurants wouldn’t let people sit—forcing folks to lounge on the floor. A stark reminder of how dependent we are on something as simple as water. Thankfully, things are hopefully back to normal now. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
