Gatwick's runway has reopened after drones caused the airport to shut down for more than a day.

Causing absolute chaos for 100,000 travellers pre- Christmas.

The airport felt this was a deliberate attack to cause as much upset to travel arrangements.

Airport authorities even called the army..

The last confirmed sighting of any drone was at 10 pm last night

Honestly, my hobby and potential future career is in tatters now.
All because facts are never important to the public, or the media.

You have to ask just who is making these unconfirmed sightings. They are either confirmed or uncomfirmed so maybe tell people just who has reported seeing one?


Ask 100 people to look at that strange light in the sky, when there is no light, 40% will see a light.

Paranoia and suggestive influence have taken over.

300 people a year truly believe they see the loch Ness monster.

 

All it takes is one person saying "what's that?"

Until they confirm no drone, this will continue, but...

They'll never say no drone as they'll immediately be liable for compensation

Two people have been arrested in connection with the "criminal use of drones" which caused major disruption at Gatwick Airport.

 

Their only reason for the deployment of the drones was to cause as much disruption as possible.

Sick, really sick!!

According to the news I am just listening to, whilst they are still in custody, they haven't been charged.

@viridisis convinced they wont be....
