The runway at London's Gatwick airport has reopened, and flights have resumed after being suspended for almost two days. The airport says security measures have been put in place to prevent more drone incursions. Gatwick was forced to close on Wednesday evening after drones were spotted flying near the runway. More than 100-thousand passengers have been stranded. Police say the incident is not terror related, and are still searching for the drone operator. Reagan Des Vignes reports.
