It is a bit strange, a couple of drones that nobody has really seen causing billions in damages by keeping it closed?

Must be more to it

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

What are some of them saying?

1.Saudis have a plane hijacked on the tarmac and it’s a media blackout so no negative reporting and drones being used as a smokescreen.
2.Russians have cyber hacked the systems including air traffic control.
3.Its remainers using it as a point of how airports will be after brexit.
4.They (not sure who) are getting as many people into the airport then going to drop a bomb on it.
5. Aliens

Best I've heard so far is 'it's a plastic bag with lights on'.

Seen this quoted a lot on Twitter, maybe they fancy flying EasyJet and spending Christmas in Alicante!?

2-4 sound plausible.

I find all this hilarious. Drones, snipers, loads of people on the news going mental.

Beats Brexit and terrorism.

 

[chiefdave]

I keep seeing people on the news, social media etc saying you can't fire into the air to shoot it down so how is clay pigeon shooting a thing?

Back flying planes again out of Gatwick, for now......drone not found.

 

[Grendel]

5 years apparently.

Got to catch him first.

Life sentence is the maximum

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Drone not found????

Mmmmmmm

Police officer this morning on bbc was funny. Lines of enquiries mmmm

Asked whether it could be environmental demonstration yes it could be lol

 

[Mcbean]

Thing is with these environmental fuckers - do they always walk or cycle to go on holiday ? or do they use taxis

Fucking cunts trying not to destroy the only habitable planet we have. Who do they think they are?

Guy from Gatwick on the radio when questioned as to why they were slow to react and hadn't they planned any counter measures told the reporter they had got it wrong and that they had been looking at the issue for at least a year. What the hell do they do at these meetings? Surely the scenario which would be discussed would be drone or drones incursion into the airfields so it begs the question - why have you wasted this year ffs! Is it just a talking shop or do you actually come up with anything concrete?!

Yeah, concrete would definitely do it. Smash the thing to smithereens I would have thought if the aim was true enough.

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Yeah just rattle bullets across an airport into nearby towns ha ha easy.

If that fails nuke the whole area.

Blunderbuss!

Cannot help bit think this is perhaps someone with ill intent testing the authorities...& to an extent vice-versa. Had this been near Downing St, Westminster or Buck' Palace or similar it would be quickly dealt with. As it is only plebs like me affected it is dealt with differently

I reckon it's Theresa May's husband, as a deflecting tactic.

She needs to have a quick shufty at his Argos statement.

 

[fellatio_Martinez]

There are very effective scrambler units in use in European airports that easily deal with drones. Britain trailing behind as usual.

 

[Otis]

Just saw on the Beeb site that the bloke in charge of operations said they expect to be back to normal tomorrow.

However, he did also say, if the drones come back they will have to close the airport again.

As they haven't even identified the culprit, let alone caught them, surely that's quite likely isn't it?

 

[Nick]

Flights stopped again!

 

[Otis]

Flights stopped again!

Obviously they let all the flights through that had their mates onboard and now they're here, have now released the drones again.

With all their mates back we should expect to see more drones.

 

[clint van damme]

What motivation can someone have for doing this?
I hope they beat the fucker(s) to death when they catch them.

 

[Mcbean]

Well when they get them they should wrap them in selotape and push them into departure area with an " i dunnit sign"

You big softie.

 

[Otis]

All the passengers should be able to sue them.

50p each per passenger should do the trick.

Something really not right here

 

[fellatio_Martinez]

Something really not right here

Yeah. I agree.

Drones have been around for well over a decade now and I can't remember a single situation like this at any UK airport and all of a sudden it's mayhem.

 

[clint van damme]

2 arrested. Man and a woman.

 

[Otis]

Good to hear.

Hope they face the full force of the law if they are guilty.

It’ll be for trespass

 

[Nick]

It’ll be for trespass

It should be criminal, awful jackets

 

[Otis]

It’ll be for trespass

Serious though, no, it being at an airport and with all the security concerns?

 

[Otis]

Just looked. Seems max sentence is 6 months imprisonment and a 5 grand fine.
