85000 people stranded on holidays due to XL airways going into administration.
200'000 people have advanced booked - might cause a few problems.
I just know there was a fire and they have shut the tunnel, I want to know more if anyone has any links?

That's the third airline in as many weeks now 
There a fire on the tunnel and it ought to be up and running again by about Thursday, only a few people were hospitalised for smoke inhalation in that. It could have been worse though, especially as it was a truck carrying chemicals that went up.
