GATWICK AIRPORT (UNITED KINGDOM) - British police were on Thursday frantically hunting for the operators of drones flown over London's Gatwick airport, which forced the suspension of all flights, causing misery for tens of thousands of passengers just days before Christmas. Woodroofe earlier it would be dangerous to shoot at the drone due to the danger of stray bullets. Gatwick is the eighth-busiest airport in Europe and sits behind Mumbai as the world's busiest single runway air hub. "Please do not set out for the airport for your flight without checking with your airline first," the airport said on Twitter. Inside the airport, weary passengers faced a grim wait to reach their destinations, with many returning home for the holidays.
