Nah. See it all the time “it’s a disgrace, no one looked after me” normally a massive lie and they have either been offered a hotel/taxi home/money back if can arrange either on own.

...and not a single person took a picture ?
The state of this utter ****
They’d be better off getting themselves settled into ‘spoons for a monster session.
Why would anyone take a picture of a white dot rushing around in the distance that wouldn’t really show up on a camera?

According to interviews with grounded passengers on 5Live and Radio Sussex, the majority took it on the chin. Then there were the melodramatic types you describe, and reportedly/predictably the aggressive berks looking for fisticuffs with staff. Brainless ... being confrontational with ‘small cogs’ in the system couldn’t possibly bring their flight time forward.
Just as with snow, these situations are a great leveller. The entitled are stuck with everyone else.

This all seems reminiscent of earlier transport SNAFUs. When they shut down most of the European airspace for nearly a week due to the volcano in Iceland erupting and when many trains in the UK were reduced to travelling at much slower speeds due to earlier fatalities caused by incompetent repairs to railway track. Sure there were potential risks but were the subsequent reactions out of proportion to the risk. I suppose the answer is that you never really know and you have to trust the powers that be know what they are doing
Out of 30, sure someone would have tried given the profile of the story. I would have.
Maybe they did, I didn’t personally ask all of them

I understand your concern. My daughter also due to land from Ireland.

Could be that when flights resume we hear how much CO2 wasn't released into the atmosphere over the "down" time?
I'm sure we'll hear plenty from the Govt on the reason for the amount of time it's taken to resolve this.

I can’t help thinking there is more to this.
Hope she gets told to do one

If it's a military drone it was possibly flown off the Kuzma Minin which run aground off Cornwall a couple of days ago before being re-floated.
I've been wondering what they shipped into the country from that.

I did feel sorry for the Mum who had booked a trip to Lapland for her son which has had to be cancelled. Yes, he can go next year, but he'll probably be too old for Santa by then.
She’s been destroyed on Twitter

would you happen to know if it is true that the drone flew up to the window of the control tower?
like, skills on show
Yes. My thoughts , prob a bit dramatic were that if I was there and drones were buzzing around with no explanation, army snipers everywhere I’d get me and my family out of there. Thousands of people being deliberately delayed so they all build up and gather in one building? Sitting ducks. I’d be as far from Gatwick Airport as quickly as possible.

I wonder if this is a protest about the airport using the second unofficial runway.....
