I'm sure she'd have managed the EU differently.. .And Margaret Thatcher.......

Bearing in mind the environmental impact of flying I can't say I feel particularly sad for those delayed at the airport..........
That depends on which side of the argument you listen to! There are as many (in fact more) arguments to say that global warming is a myth and is being encouraged by Western governments so they can heavily tax all fossil fuels etc (hence all studies supporting it get massive Govt. funding but those stating its not happening get no funding what so ever!) - who knows what the real truth is - I don't believe anything I'm told anymore.
Remember David Bellamy who was 'ostracised' for stating climate change was all 'poppycock!':

Wasn't it 97% of all climate scientists believe that human-induced climate change was real? Perhaps you like to believe the other 3% - like the Trump does.

I thought the drone tactics were reminiscent of “ animal rightists” but only time will tell, or notClimate change/animal right's groups operate on fear and intimidation. They love to cause disruption, chaos and anarchy. They've achieved this and people might be less keen to fly in the knowledge that if this sort of thing became widespred their plans could be disrupted. Look at how many hunts get disrupted by these groups. Disruption is their MO.
How many people wear real fur, not because they don't want to but because they don't want to be attacked by an extremist.

There is a distinct possibility that the drones didn't exist in the first place. So the UK has demonstrated that its easy to shut down a major airport by claiming to have seen something at exactly no personal risk

Am a little surprised no-one has picked up from the article that Sussex police have said there is no film of the drone & that they were relying entirely on eye witnesses whom may have been mistaken.
In other words one of the busiest airports in the world may have been shut because someone thinks they saw something
But just suppose there had been a drone/s and an aircraft had hit it and crashed ?
Please don't say it couldn't happen, no one knows for certain what could happen just
because it hasn't so far
Can you imagine the uproar over loss of lives if it became known they had a prior warning ?
Difficult decision to make, but I personally think it was the right one, sad to say it will
no doubt happen again if someone feels it could have a big impact
They have 97 eyewitness accounts, including ATC staff who say the drone buzzed the tower and hovered outside the windows. There is video of a drone over gatwick taken on a phone.
Not sure whats going on, other than they've released a hobby flyer who thought he was safe to fly his 4 miles from Gatwick - probably didn't realise how foolish that was given the sensitivity in the area.
Interesting how people interpret matters:
(1) The Police have stated ' They can not rule out the possibility there was no drone' , which to me is sensible statement whilst they are still investigating the matter and the Police spokesman went on to say that until they had spoken to the eye witnesses they wouldn't know. Speaking to 100 eye witnesses (taking written statements from) takes a huge amount of time TBH.
(2) Your Doctor will never speculate on anything until all tests have been carried out.
One is seen as 'amateur hour' whilst the other approach is professional?
I watched the news last night where it was said the Police had recovered a damaged drone from the airport perimeter?
Funny that one of the tabloids splashed all over their front page that it was climate change activists intent on causing chaos.....now it appears there may never have been a drone at all.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story
Could a drone really bring a passenger plane down ? Why are they not falling out of the sky daily with birds ?
I think there's two potential issues. If a drone struck a turbine or the cockpit windows. The battery from a drone is much denser then say a bird, even if the overall weight is the same. The commercial plane that was hit in Canada last year only suffered light damage to a wing
Yeah I understand the theory but are these passenger planes with 100’s of lives on them really that delicate ?
Yet of those 97 accounts there is no video and the police say they cannot discount the possibility there was no drone.
I’m in the 3%. A lot of the research is state funded and there’s a reason governments want to spook us into believing this guff - so they can tax us and curtail our freedoms.
Hell, I don’t even buy the figures they use to measure the temperatures. I mean just how accurate was a thermometer 100 years ago and just how trusted can the historical data be to be so sure it’s even getting hotter or indeed the sea level is getting higher. There’s no evidence that there is otherwise places like NYC, London would be flooding.
These so called experts said in the 70s London would be under water by now. It isn’t. That Al Gore fool said similar and has been spectacularly proven wrong as nothing’s sunk into the sea like he said it would. Thank God Bush won against him.
Now there’s plenty of evidence about pollution and the real harm to the planet - but I don’t believe the weather or climate would be one iota different with or without human co2 emissions.
yet there is video

There's also two witness accounts from the ATC tower that said a drone flew close and hovered, and provided enough detail that they were able to identify the make and model.
I think whoever did this realised it was time to pack up for now.
The couple whose name and details have been leaked to the media and the vilification they have received by the press; I hope they sue for every penny!
No there isn't any video. The police have confirmed that is the case. Second paragraph in, and widely reported in other sources including the BBC article in this thread.
that is probably not possible.. it did not happen in the USA.
and yet for those saying why aren't there video's or photos, I'm reminded that a plane could crash into the Hudson River and the only footage we have is some poor quality CCTV. How many tourists are in NY at any one time yet nobody videoed it?
Also tech from 2018 is substationally better than 2009, let’s be honest, nearly every man, women and child has an extremely good camera/camcorder in there hands 90% of there life.Nobody knew that was about to happen and it was over very quickly.
Everyone knew there were reports of drones in the area and it lasted for many hours.

Why not?in this case I doubt that that can be done
