On the other hand...

Do you know how much environmental damage flying does to our planet?

How can you justify that for a mere holiday?

These people are shutting down an entire airport and preventing damage to the environment by selfish holiday makers who do not car a fig for the planet and climate change

If the drone pilots can evade capture, work in teams and permanently shut down Gatwick, think of how much carbon they will save

It has been a while since I had a chance to play Devil's advocate and argue for the least popular side

How about using more environmentally friendly forms of transport and also they should have thought of that before they selfishly flew for a mere holiday?

Do you not care about our planet?

Trains and buses

But they are not as damaging to the environment as air travel is

Check out the carbon footprint of each...

I did and it was mind blowing just how damaging to the environment flying is

Air travel is used for more than leisure though

This is reminding me of when the Icelandic volcano erupted, and flights were grounded.

Surely the guy has to be within a reasonable distance of the drone, it's crazy they can't find him with the thousands of officers and resources they must have behind it

they should be able to intercept the drone radio signal and then trace the source of the transmission. My guess is that we are not being told the whole story surrounding this at the moment

I genuinely think that its aliens and the government is covering it up. Calling the army in to try (and fail) to shoot down a drone. OH COME ON LUVVIE!

A New Device at Gatwick on a Van.

https://news.sky.com/story/police-hu...vices-11587702


Of course, those using the drones are still out there
so they can start another Stoppage.

Police and Army Snipers now can shoot them down

Whatever the reason for this attack ,its probasbly made every airport in every country wake up to how vunerable they are.

The people that did this - well i hope you are happy you have destroyed Christmas for thousands of people ! I also hope they catch you and you never have another Christmas playing with your toys.

Alternatively to the people flying for a mere holiday, I hope you are happy about destroying our planet with your selfish behaviour - Two sides to everything, so I am forever told...
