Hong Kong Airport

The WTWS System was accepted by the Hong Kong Government on 17 July 1997, after 44 months of research and development. The $16 million project included basic and applied research on wind flow over Hong Kong's rugged terrain, a scientific field study, warning system concept and feasibility studies, system design, construction, implementation and training. The program was managed by B. Donaldson, Weather Information and Technologies, Inc. (WITI), R. Wagoner and W. Mahoney, both of NCAR/RAP. See Hong Kong Operational Windshear Warning System (OWWS) Completion, Section V.

London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5

According to reports from the British press (who, by the way, are having a field day ripping British Airways to shreds) the problems started with Terminal 5’s super-high tech baggage handling system a network of motorized carts and underground belts that can allegedly handle 12,500 bags per hour.

Many of the early shift baggage handlers reporting for work on opening day couldn’t find parking spaces at the new terminal or got stuck at security checkpoints, creating a huge staffing shortage. Those who did make it in either couldn’t log into the computerized baggage sorting system or didn’t know how it worked (not good news if you handle baggage for a living). As a result belts began jamming up, and the first three flights of the morning took off without any luggage on board at all. Instead, those bags piled up at the terminal.
