Heathrow's new Terminal 5 is opened this weekend, allowing the massive airport to accommodate 30 million more travelers each year. Airport expansion seems on the march; but the second phase - the addition of a third runway - is still in play. As a community, London is coming together to oppose the expansion, which threatens to force people from their homes and subject the area to exponentially greater noise pollution. This is an issue about quality of life, and standing up for neighbors against economic logic that fails to calculate human cost.
