"Why does it have two islands?"

One for takeoff, one for landings. Because in England, they still have separate hot and cold water faucets:

One island is running windows XP. The other is running Windows ME. That way, if one system gets hacked, the other system will still be up and running.

Just my guess, of course.

So planes can take off or land in either direction?
