Re: Droning on

So you're saying they just stopped a full airport from functioning because some guy was playing drone sounds from his car stereo?

I'm sorry, but I don't think that's credible - there must have been something credible out there, but I suspect that they were more focused on finding the idiot controlling the thing than filming it. I also suspect that whatever was out there was moving erratically enough to prevent someone hitting it when they worked out a safe angle to do this from.

The problem with this event is that it has demonstrated a new fun game for idiots, and I wasn't in the least surprised when the same happened at Heathrow only days later.
