As a protest against the airport expansion programme, eight people from "Hounslow Against New Terminals" occupied a crane on the construction site of Heathrow's Terminal 5 on Oct 6. Four were brought down and charged with aggravated trespass the next day. The four remaining protesters called for support (1 | 2), preferably with cameras. According to Heathrow Press Department, they stayed on top of the crane until Saturday 11 Oct.
