Drones Disrupt Holiday Travel at London's Gatwick Airport
London’s Gatwick Airport was closed Thursday during one of the busiest times of year after drones were spotted over the runway.
According to The Associated Press, the prospect of a collision between an “industrial”-grade drone and an airliner led authorities to stop all flights in and out of the airport. Police said that the intrusion was a deliberate attempt to disrupt operations at the airport during a peak period, but that the disruption was not terror-related.
