All right, good morning. Thanks for being here. It's Friday.

Made it. March 21st, 2025.

This is First Thing with Kevin Mano. Real quick look at all the top stories organized and delivered as you start today.

And the show starts right now.

And we always start with the top story. This one broke overnight and it's going to have a ripple effect everywhere.

Britain's Heathrow Airport, which is the busiest in Europe, shut down early this morning after a nearby fire broke out.

The whole airport shut down and they say it's going to stay closed until just before midnight tonight.

Around 120 flights were headed to Heathrow in the air when this closure was announced.

This will obviously affect thousands of flights directly in and out of the airport today,

but these things spread and slow travel everywhere.

So it's expected to be a major disruption to all air travel, especially international, all weekend. If you're flying,

be aware, allow extra time, and of course look into this. Let's go.

All right, okay. On the sports, the Boston Celtics just set a new record. The team is being

sold to a man named Bill Chisholm for $6.1 billion.

That'll set a record for the highest amount paid for a North American sports franchise.

Bill is Massachusetts native. He said he's been a diehard Celtics fan his entire life,

and now the team will soon be his.

In other basketball news, there was a big upset in March madness yesterday.

Clemson is out.

It's being called a stunning first round exit.

Number 14 seed, McNeese beat him 69 to 67.

There's the first bracket buster of the tournament.
