Well, it HAD to Happen
That Drone !
Something that has the ability to create havoc on an industrial scale, yet no sign of any control whatsoever. Even the clowns no longer in control

Re: Well, it HAD to Happen
Coming to an airport near you soon. Drones are relatively cheap and the world is full of idiots.

Re: Well, it HAD to Happen
Two things come to mind------
Either this drone attack is a much more sophisticated affair than initially thought with the ability to bypass jamming technology, possibly by preplanning and independant control or,---- The security services are hopelessly incompetant and complacent and just were not prepared. Im inclined to think there is more to this than at first thought.

Re: Well, it HAD to Happen
Reminds me of the - apocryphal ? - tale from WW1 :
DR rider was progressing South from the Channel, dodging the flak & bullets. Gunnery Officer on one of His Majesty's capital ships was giving the orders: "up a bit," "up a bit" Think that's why DR trousers were coloured BROWN
