Thanks! Yes, it was Heathrow. We had to stand around like that because one of our group members was detained for saying the wrong thing at border control. They actually shipped him back to California, and he has to wait for official permission to enter the UK. Poor guy.
Holy crap that sucks. What did he say? (or is it not safe to repeat?) Kinda stupid though, esp considering how much more common terrorist attacks are in Europe.
We're not quite sure what he said, cause he was on a different flight. But we were all told before we went that we weren't supposed to say that we're students, or that we're here to study, because we don't have student visas. We're technically in the country as visitors, since we're not actually enrolled in a British university (it's a program where our professors came with us, so we're studying under the American university, and just happen to be in another country). It's all legal and technically what we're supposed to do, but we think he said he was a student and that it went downhill from there. Eep.
