Apparently there's a fire, all flights are cancelled. Does anyone know anymore?

Another story mentions they found an empty canister of "CS gas". Assuming is wasn't, intentional I imagine the police would know immediately if they are missing one, so it was probably dropped out dumped by a passenger and then activated somehow.

on the radio it said CS gas.

I've been gassed it is not a nice experience, but does wane after a while.

I believe it's part of training for all British Armed Forces personnel?

In a nightclub in Stoke on Trent about 1998. Someone ran in with a CS gas spray, sprayed and ran out. Took a few second before anyone realised.

CS is a doddle. Having been subjected to loads its a piece of piss to work your way round the symptoms and still qualify.

Unless it's the same incident, that also happened at Keele University around the same time, must have been a fashion for it.

CS is pretty horrible the first time but when you get used to it the effects seem to diminish, first time I remember eyes burning and coughing uncontrollably but subsequently it got easier each time.

CS is rubbish. Not only does it get the person you're trying to spray, it gets everyone else, too. Plus people can develop resistance to it and it doesn't have any effect on some people.

Pepper spray is much better.

Unless they are white middle class Black Lives Matter activists in which case they'll just get a slap on the wrists and a tiny fine.
