OK, it's easy for me to say this from across the Atlantic, but, hey, "Calm down, America!" We in the UK went through a drone scare and, you know what, it was fine. In fact – after the more shouty news sites and our legendary tabloid newspapers settled down – we had to accept that it might not have happened at all.
It didn't stop it from ruining 140,000 people's travel plans in the run-up to Christmas and costing over £20 million ($25m USD) between flight compensation, the on-the-day costs to the airport, and the cost of installing all kinds of drone countermeasures in the aftermath.
