A woman collapsed in a queue after all passport e-gates stopped working during chaotic scenes at Heathrow Airport.
The scanners, operated by Border Force officials, briefly went down in Terminal 3 at the UK’s largest airport yesterday morning, leaving hundreds of passengers waiting in lengthy queues as they came off overnight flights.

Heathrow confirmed the woman fainted, but the cause is not currently known. It is understood she collapsed after the queue started moving, and had taken a long flight beforehand.
