Straight from the blogs: Security forces have stormed a plane at Heathrow airport, London. Several people were removed from the plane by force. Blogger recieved update from relative actually onboard the plane. Plane currently listed as being delayed for 3 hours on BA:s homepage.
"Gate Closed" is the standard description in the UK when passenger boarding is nearly, or has been completed and no more passengers will be allowed into the boarding/gate area to board the flight.
