Shocking reports are speaking about Munich airport in southern Germany coming to a temporary close with all flights grounded, and both runways shut down this morning after two pilots independently reported seeing an unauthorized drone.
The shutdown caused an immediate disruption across the entire European aviation hub. The incident arose at about 9 am today local time, when pilots from separate planes saw the suspicious flying object near the tarmac, and that prompted a swift halt in air traffic for obvious reasons.
Soon after that, federal police were seen swarming the location and deploying helicopters to search the entire vicinity. During the showdown that lasted for nearly one hour, more than 20 incoming flights were diverted to other airports nearby. The law enforcement agencies have confirmed that they didn't find any active threat and therefore have now resumed operations.
