Rogue drones have brought Gatwick airport to a standstill

Drones have caused Gatwick Airport to come to a standstill. Tens of thousands of passengers are suffering travel chaos after two unmanned aerial vehicles were spotted near the UK airfield. The runway was first closed at 9pm on Wednesday after two drones were seen. It was then reopened at 3am on Thursday, however it was shut again 45 minutes later after a further sighting of drones and has remained closed. "There is significant disruption at Gatwick today as a result of what appears to be a deliberate attempt to disrupt flights," the airport said.
