saw some bloke flying one up the Memorial park, flying it along the path just above head height, making people really uncomfortable. Thought he was the bollocks, everyone else thought he was a moron.
His missus looked highly embarrassed.
It's mad how somebody with a drone can cause so much disruption. Would think there would be ways to either kill the power to it or shoot them down as soon as they go into dangerous airspace.
Yeah just rattle bullets across an airport into nearby towns ha ha easy.
If that fails nuke the whole area.
Police have said they don’t want to shoot it down in case they miss and the stray bullets.
Thing is now, idiots will see the disruption it causes and start doing it more and more!
Shoot the fuckers out of the Sky - armed people are there on duty already - people might think a bit more when they lose their property - and if the cameras are recovered might incriminate them
You would think frequencies in the radius would be jammed anyway so they just fall out of the sky.
They wouldn’t just fall out the sky though. You’d just disrupt comma to the controls and it would carry on its trajectory. Some work entirely with on board GPS as well.
My mates Phantom drone could be set to fly a path and then doesn’t need any connection bar GPS (which you obviously can’t block in an airport Id assume)
EMP is too risky. That’s why they tend to train birds or have special drones of their own to take them down. It’s actially quite tricky to do.
They must have a way to do it though, what would they do if it was a terrorist drone flying into the palace with a bomb on it?
It's quite worrying that it can be so disruptive.
not sure if nets would work at an airport - boing!The speed the tech came out took everyone by surprise I think. Look at prisons, more controlled and less tech issues than an airport and they have to resort to putting nets up.
There are two Wetherspoons at Gatwick, settle down and get sloshed.
just been listening to 5live, there's a 2 hour queue for a coffee!
Had some professional drone operator on said this is pre planned and deliberate.
Said off the shelf drones can't be operated in controlled air space without modification. When they catch whoever is responsible I think it's fair to say not only are they going to get a lengthy jail sentence but they're going to need an personal protection for the foreseeable future!
More likely to be stupid people to be honest.its probably just a #stupidwoman testing out her kids Christmas present before wrapping it.
ANTIFA SJW?More likely to be stupid people to be honest.
How fucking useless are the people in charge here. 8 hours later and still causing disruption. Couldn't they just fire water at it from a fire engine. That would be more then enough to destabilise it.
