Chaos at London Gatwick airport as drones delay hundreds of flights

Police say they are considering trying to shoot down a drone that has shut Gatwick Airport for more than 24 hours. Sussex Police has received about 50 reports of a drone being flown around the airport since Wednesday evening. An intrusion by smaller flying objects is keeping much larger ones grounded in London, resulting in traveling chaos.
