 Hello everyone So I thought I'd just have to take a little look at this Gatwick drone attack possible inside job police So because the way it's worded more than anything else. So the Gatwick drone attack Okay, so this was published 14th April 2019. So a little bit after the fact as this happened December 2018 But let's just take a little peek at what's being said here The drone attack caused chaos during at Gatwick before Christmas was carried The drone attack that caused chaos at Gatwick before Christmas was carried out by someone with knowledge to the airport's operational Procedures the airport has said a Gatwick chief told BBC panorama the drones pilots seem to be able to see what was happening on the runway Sussex police told the program that possible the possibility and insider was involved was a credible line of inquiry So we got a hundred and forty thousand passengers caught up in the instruction They closed the airport for 33 hours You know not being funny But when Lady Derna was killed in that car they closed that tunnel for an hour had it cleared up and business as usual In the first interview since the incident Gatwick chief operating officer Chris Woodruff Told panorama it was clear that the drone operators had a link had a link into what was going on at the airport Mr. Woodruff Woodruff Who was who was the executive overseeing the airport's response to the attack the gold commander Also said that whomever was piloted to the drone Whomever was piloted to the drone could either see what was happening on the runway or was following the airport's actions by eavesdropping on radio or internet communications Okay, that confuses me unless he's all open broadcast things like the internet communications On radio if it's all open broadcast fair enough. Yeah So, you know as it is dropping really if you're broadcasting publicly, you don't have to eavesdrop to hear it do and Whoever was responsible for the attack had specifically selected a drone Which could not be seen by the DJI aeroscope drone detection system That the airport was testing at the time he added Okay, so the system doesn't work or Yeah, we've got a drone that doesn't That's interesting. I'm going to look that up what this DJI aeroscope drone detection system actually is No overreaction despite a huge of operation during resources from five of the forces and 5,000 50,000 Pound reward. There's still no trace of the culprit. Well, that's interesting. Isn't it? That's six forces six police forces involved in a Suspected drone attack You remember these words because words are very important when he's playing into the into the psyche into the minds of the general public So like words like attack Eminence death, you know Okay, so the first sighting of the drone was at 20 21 o3 GMT on the 19th of December 21 o3 GMT well, that's dark then. I mean by the time you get to December We're getting dark here about boy, I know five o'clock We're dark at five, but it was not until 0557 GMT on the 21st of December that flights resumed With an aircraft landing Okay Okay, the first sighting of the drone So Gatwick says it repeatedly tried to reopen the runway but on each occasion the drone reappeared Airport protocol mandates that the runway be closed if a drone is present. Okay. Okay, that's fair enough But it says Gatwick said it repeatedly tried to open on one down many times Repeatedly is because repeatedly sounds like quite a few times But on each occasion the drone reappeared, so We got to say then that this drone is just popping up and then disappearing and There's no photos. There's no video evidence. There's no nothing like that, but let's let's just put that to one side for now But this thing's popping up and even though they're on this high alert and they want to reopen the airport or a runway The drone keeps reappearing, but they can't find out where this drone is. They see it, but they can't find it They see it in the air But no one can track it. No one can watch which direction it goes off on to nothing like that Anyway, Mr. Woodruff denies claims the airport ever reacted Describe it obviously it's going to isn't he? Describe in a situation it faced as an unprecedented and presidented malicious and criminal incident There is obviously nothing that I would do differently when I look back at the incident because ultimately my number one priority is has to has to Has to be to maintain the safety of our passengers and that's what we did Nothing about the price of those airplanes or about the safety of people at least in age isn't it duty of care It was terrible that a hundred and forty thousand people's journeys were disrupted, but everyone was safe Mr. Woodruff also dismissed the suggestion that the number of sightings had been exaggerated and The theory circulates an online that there have been no drone at all We haven't found a drone. No one's managed to take videos of it or photos of it even though it could be seen But there still has to be a drone These claims have been fueled by the fact there was no verified pictures of the drone and very few eyewitnesses spoken publicly All right, okay Please please told the BBC that they recorded a hundred and thirty separate credible drone sightings by a total of 115 people all but six of whom were professionals. Oh Well, if they're professionals it must have happened But none of them got a video footage of it None of them took a photo of it even though they could all see and there were credible drone sightings Some were including police officers security personnel air traffic control staff and pilots But nobody managed to figure out where this drone was coming. We don't know if it was going east, west, south North, nothing Anyway, Mr. Woodruff said that many of the drone sightings were by people who knew personally and trusted members of my team People I've worked with for a decade people who have worked for 30 years on the airfield who fully understand the implications of Reporting a drone sighting. Of course, they understand the implications You might get paid five million quid to get some tech in with some new training and people get some great jobs out of it Well, they wouldn't do it for that low. Would they be very naughty? They knew they'd seen a drone They know they saw a drone. I know they saw a drone. We We appropriately closed the airport Panorama have been told around blah blah. At least one person noticed the characteristics of the drone shape while others described it as industrial or commercial Really so that that familiar with drones are they they can did suck they can distinguish between Well, many many drones home maids off the shelf and between industrial commercial like police drones or something Mmm, and not something you could pop into Argos for an airport spokesman said they do seem quite familiar on drones Other international airports have instilled counter drone technology. Gatwick has confirmed that in the days after the attack it spent five million on similar equipment I'm just gonna mince down here a little bit Panoramas learn that get we bought two sets of a UTS anti UAV Defense systems anti-drone systems made by consortium of three British companies I would have missed a woodroaf is friends with any of those from those companies that being interesting little subject to look up Uh drone come from right we we would We would have known the drone was arriving on site and we would have known That the drone had come from we would have known where the drone had come from and where it was going to really I mean, that's a good bit of kit. You've got there then if you know where it's come from Yeah, you know when it's arriving on site if you're no minute come from you know where it's going to I suppose that's if you can track it you'd have thought all those people looking at it would have said hey Yeah, he came from over there. I've been watching it and it's been going over in this direction and then I sort of go over into that direction Didn't cost five million quidro. I did it All right, and we'd have a better chance of catching the perpetrator perpetrator every day. He said the airport sends up a drone Every day he said the airport sends up a drone to detect the To to test the detection equipment and it finds that drone Every day he says the airport sends up a drone Maybe they've just bought their own drones. It's anything about buying drones. They just said about buying anti UAV defense systems But he had it he had it he added what this instant as the Demonstrated is that the drone operator with malicious intent and cause serious disruption to airport operations Oh, yes, it can and it also goes to show that if somebody says they've seen something, but they can't actually prove it They can also They can also disrupt cause serious disruption to airport operations Okay, so let's have a little a little bit of a little bit going on there So we that that was from a good old people at the BBC This is from CNN another trusted news outlet. Oh, you've got to trust these people Please hunt drone pilots in unprecedented Gatwick Airport disruption. At least it's not an attack this time United Kingdom second blah blah blah It was closed since 9 p.m. Wednesday brief 45 minutes on Thursday after drones now we've gone into plural drones Right after drones were spotted near the airfield passengers due to fly on Thursday couldn't go But it's really terrible because it's over that Christmas period We're gonna get all the I'd call the posher people the ones who can afford the extortionate ticket prices And they're gonna go around the places the people who have influence of power with blogs the newspapers with all the stuff They can start writing this down stuff writing this stuff down I've sent them on over there. They're still whining about it now Passengers due to fly on Thursday blah blah police were still on the hunt for the drone operators Brought the airport to a standstill so it could have been a drone operator We've gone to operators each time we believe we get close to the operator the drone disappears Well now they're actually trying to get close to the operator when we look to reopen the airport airfield the drone reappears Well, so sick police superintendent Justin Justin Burkenshaw told the UK Press Association A police helicopter flies over and we're at Gatwick Airport. I'm sorry The Ministry of Defense said it is deployed specialist equipment to Sussex to assist Sussex police in their efforts Wow, the Ministry defense friend miss as well The most recent drone sightings about 4 30 p.m. I Thought it was a little bit later, but What do I say is a major international airport like in itself like would be reopened blah blah blah because I need to get Through this important stuff Sharing real anger frustrating so we'd like to repeat how sorry after the inconvenience this criminal behavior has caused passengers As goes passengers and we share the real anger not their anger, but their real anger and frustration that this has happened Aviation expert God John Parker told CNN He'd seen nothing on this on this scale before in terms of deliberate disruption by a drone to a major UK Airport listen as far as I can tell the only people who disrupted that airport so far is the people in it because so far We haven't got a drone. We've got no video footage We've got no nothing but we have got a big load of hype about drones There are people going after airspace and stuff like that So we want big hype about drones and of course these airports would like five million quids with a kid so they can employ more people or Retrain the people of God. It's going to generate more money within the actual airport and that's always good news as well So the usual practice when a drone is spotted is to suspend flights for half an hour Which is the usual lot battery lifespan for drones explain Parker a formal Royal Air Force fighter pilot and head of drone training company fly by technology But in the case of get week whoever was responsible had several batteries and and I brought their drones back to the ground put new batteries in them in them So they've got several batteries. So all this time was happening in three days, right? This goes to show our pathetic these people are Three day almost to just lighting three days This is going on and they couldn't and the drone's going back to the pilot getting Recycled a battery and then going back out again or drones because they say drone in one hand and they're saying drones and So all this time this is happening. No one's actually following the drone I'm pretty sure that I did see one of these things that It was going around all over place quite badly. So two people are resting in connection with the drone incidents drone destructive flights Blah blah details of suspects police did not provide any details of the suspects Rest have been made this evening determine in public state blah blah airport aims to run on schedules on flights on Saturday, but more and travelers Delays and cancellations because you don't remember if you've got the people and then they're not flying the drones anymore, right? So get we briefly suspended again on Friday is another report of a sighting with drone these thousands of people stranded facility I mean these people are getting really messed around down. They have a they're really want to get blogging with this Unconformed sightings at 5 20 p.m. On the Friday unconfirmed Unconfirmed so there's a reciting wasn't reciting The statement where airports blah blah airport so on Twitter trying to respond and President a number of tweets so the airport is trying to respond to an unprecedented number of tweets. Why? Why just because you've got some sort of tweaking. Let me tell you go respond to everything Doing nothing all day pattern pattern around doing that Thousands of people have been stranded at the airport a thousand flights been cancelled under 50,000 people since Wednesday evening Affecting up to 100,000 people. So the numbers just keep going up, don't they? Two million people expecting to pass through blah blah, right? Let's get on to the next one because Police find damaged drone as couple arrested over chaos at getwick airport is released Well, so there's their faces they look younger and what they say is that if you've got a Paul he's 47 and you got a lane She's 54 they spent more than 36 hours being quizzed by police now the way that they did this As well is that the police came in with guns into their homes took them away arrested them and kept them in Communicado, so let me just get down to that bit because they were saying at one stage It wasn't a terrorist thing. They just thought it was some somebody proud of their drone So why are you going there with guns and these people's? So But please confirm that no longer suspects I said a dain a damaged drone was found near the north perimeter Of Gatwick would be taken away from investigation. So no photos of that. There's nothing I've heard from since But these people are no longer suspects. Okay, and then they've put out. This is Australian dollars of presumed 90,000 reward for a real culprit so We're meticulously going through the information to see that produces any of the further lines of inquire and also where they make focus on Efforts in terms of house to outfit house house inquiries CCTV footage that you think that an airport would have plenty of and there'd be something that the airport cameras would have found and Any other information that will help us work through this investigation? And of course while all this is going on still this drone has gone back and re-battered gone back out again back We battery come back out again how many times we don't really know but no one still none of the security cameras No, the security none of the police. Nobody managed to take a photo or get any video evidence of it going on Okay, nobody managed to any of that So I'm not gonna put the names and rested on Friday connection drone invasion has been shut down UK second-busiest airport So right in connection with the drone invasion look the words the words are brilliant here drone invasion That had shut down the UK second busiest airport a house in Crawley about eight kilometers from the airport was searched on Saturday Ah But blah blah blah blah blah blah I was just about to talk about his employer He saw him once playing with a helicopter Checkouts get with times Persistent drone crisis correct 45 miles south of London had a ripple effect throughout the international International air travel system Wednesday night, and I think that's what he was supposed to do That's what it was chosen for that time of year for it to happen as well a Gatwick spokesman said that I think we're going in the right direction The weekend after horrendous few days horrendous horrendous few days the horror the horror in the drone that no one can video that people think they see but no one can video People have been told hey, you can't go on your flight. That's horrendous. Wow How wet are we as a as a as a country to think that if you're gonna be delayed or your flight You might be cancelled for something that you can't see yourself That's horror horror Very obviously haven't lived or you know So a few days or tens of thousands people stranded or delayed from ten thousand people say the investigation is ongoing Even though they did say hey look we got this problem I think don't bother coming phone up before you come here and sit and wait So if the loads and loads of people are going there, they're not phoning up. They're not stupid British police Have not said if they think the two specs suspect suspects actually alone or as part of a larger group Right, so these two suspects have already been released. I've nothing to do with it They're trying to find out that part of the group the motive for their aggressive drone flights aggressive drone flights Okay, it's all in the wording you see with these people Aggressive drone flights or these are terrible terrible flights has not been established, but officials say there are no indications It is terror related Which makes me ask myself, why did they go in after them? with guns Why did the police decide? Hey, it's not terror related Is it one of those things like in this country now if the policeman comes up to you and say what you're doing? Oh, I'm just filming the building over there. I want to see some ID. I don't have to give you any idea I'm not doing anything wrong, right? I'm detaining you under the suspect of being a terrorist section 43 and I'm gonna rifle through your stuff trying to find out You are I wonder if it's one of those things where they come after you with guns Even though they say it's nothing to do with terrorism, but they're gonna come after you guns anyway because they can We got the power one of those types of things Many notes of the reason uncomfortable it was oh Well these poor people that was the horror wasn't it because it noted how freezing and uncomfortable it was to be in the lobby of an airport so The gateway K-Port drone arrest couple to receive 200,000 200,000 now. I don't think they're gonna take that out the police benevolent fund That's gonna come from public money, of course So the the taxpayer is gonna pay Paul and Elaine 200,000 for For something they had nothing to do with that they would just detain for 36 hours So they were released after without further charge after being detained held for 36 hours Despite the fact they did not possess any drones and had been at work during the reported sightings The couple had several their claims were wrongful arrest and forced imprisonment against Sussex police outside of court and the legal team announced on Sunday So this is 200,000 pounds out the public personnel to go to these people So I'm just gonna quit looking see you can pause this you can look yourself Staying it's a lot of fun vocation police justice So, yeah, so confirm of our innocence and wrongful treatment because they were they were held in communicado here. It says they were We look forward to moving on and putting this terrible episode behind us They say despite the apology They still they still have no explanation for why they were held in Communicado for 36 hours, which means they can't talk to anyone. They can't talk to each other and This is going on the frame that I didn't think it was a Suppose if you're gonna spend five million pounds for this disruption You're gonna really give the people you think many have done it or many not I've done it I mean the police are probably just doing doing what they're told we got no idea what's actually happening within the circles of the airport So, yeah, they were that whole community in communicado for 36 hours just like they were terrorists or something a Letter the couple blah blah from the David Constable Miller chief console David Miller Experience unpleasantness of arrest and tension Traumatic time unfortunately when the police carry out function on behalf of the public sometimes innocent people are arrested as part of your necessary police investigation Okay, so I'm pretty sure I did find you know if you might have to go through it for themselves But I'm pretty sure I've found out they said that they went in the police went in with guns It was armed police went in there But somebody you may have been a using a drone in a stupid place now. Don't get me wrong I need to say this. I've probably should have said it from the start if you're doing things like this All right, not only are you causing problems for other hobbyists? All right people who like and enjoy their time with their drones You're a dick and if you're doing it because you're trying to cause problems at the airport You're a triple dick You really really are you you're one of the the stupidest of stupid people Because if you've got the talents to be flying them around and doing you could probably do some good with them So that's I just want to put that across. I just don't believe the BBC I certainly do not believe this independent if you want a quick little look into the independent on how Honest that is with you. So you click on the independent. You want to read a news report and you think that's it I'm getting independent, right? But if you click on the independent see all this other stuff that's defaulted as I don't allow them to connect all this other stuff He's trying to connect Right trusted as Google got no choice But all the other stuff is trying to connect and that's just by connecting to this website to this the independent This is how many of the sites how many of the servers are trying to get into your browser leave cookies Follow track and do all sorts while you're just viewing an article All right, so anyway, that's that's my little thing on the on the on the they said to date To date they still don't have a drone. They said they found some broken thing But they never actually connected it to this and they've given no images of it or anything like that So you can't even say if they find a little Simon X5C broken You could say hey, well, that's not the industrial commercial one. They are these people these so-called eye witnesses We're talking about no no no no. No, that's just some stupid little thing. You could buy off the shop at Argos So there's been no connection there. There's been no pilot so far found There's been no drone found and within within all the ins and outs of that drone Apparently being re-batteried and then sent out again It goes to show how crap the police the security at the airport is and any of the eyewitnesses out But they can't actually see this drone. I Did read another one I Read another article that this drone was supposed to be high speed Flying low high speed with real bright lights on it I thought it was an airplane myself when I the description high speed Flying low because you know airports they tend to have them coming inland in or taken off and that's normally done pretty low level and Bright lights and they've got to be bright lights on them But hey, that's just me thinking that's just me thinking. What are your thoughts? Is anybody else got any more information about this? Has anybody seen anything else where there's been any more information? I've not managed to find and would be Would be would be helpful with understanding what actually happens. I'd get weak that bad over those three days 36 hours leave your thoughts in your comments and yeah in that section below and I'd love to read and Understand what you what you think on this yourselves Till next time speak to you soon. Bye. Bye. Take care everybody
