LONDON (AP) — Britain's military was deployed to central and western England on Friday to help get hospital employees to work and to assist police in rescuing people from snowbound vehicles as unusually cold weather gripped Europe. The big freeze caused travel chaos throughout the country with hundreds of flights cancelled at Heathrow Airport, Europe's largest air hub. Trains broke down, stranding some passengers in frosty conditions for hours. "This is particularly unusual weather," Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said. "It's something that happens very rarely in this country." Another thing that happens very rarely these days is the canals freezing over in the Dutch capital, Amsterdam.
