Video report. Narrator has one hell of a boring voice.

Protesters demonstrating against airport expansion at Heathrow have caused hundreds of flights to be delayed by chaining themselves together on a runway.

Many departures were running behind by more than an hour this morning and the disruption looked set to continue as police struggled to remove the activists.

It was unclear whether 13 cancellations, including flights to Dublin, Frankfurt, Geneva, Amsterdam and Rome, were linked to the demonstration, and no planes had been diverted.

Heathrow Airport said both of its runways remain open but advised travellers to check the status of their flight before starting their journey.

Who needs terrorists when you have your own home-grown "activists."

Taxi the plane there, spin it around, and blast the people with the jet wash...

They'll think twice hopefully about the next time
