London (CNN)The closure of the UK’s second-biggest airport because of “deliberate” drone disruption has caused travel chaos for hundreds of thousands of passengers and left many more wondering how something like this could even happen in the first place.
Police on Thursday were still searching for the perpetrators who have brought air traffic in and out of London’s Gatwick Airport to a halt.
Flights have been diverted or grounded since two drones, believed by Sussex Police to be of an “industrial specification,” were spotted near the airfield.
