Drones were spotted in Gatwick airport's airspace late last night and have continued to be spotted periodically throughout the last 15+ hours. The airport is still shut down, no planes in or out, and authorities still have no idea when they will reopen. More than 115,000 people are stranded on the busiest travel weekend of the year.

Officials believe this is a deliberate attempt to disrupt operations at the airport but don't believe it is terror related.
