This so-called mountain is made up of countless rows forming one giant cluster containing hundreds of bags. This is reportedly the result of a failed system at terminal two and also a severe shortage of staff. 

Reports state that London’s Heathrow Airport asked some airlines to cancel a number of flights as with airlines and airports struggling to hire enough staff to handle the revived passenger flows as 'revenge travel' takes hold across the globe post pandemic.
