US: FBI probes drone that disrupted planes at North Carolina airport

A drone disrupted flights at Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina, for about two hours on Tuesday night as police unsuccessfully searched for the operator. The FBI is seeking help from the public to identify the people responsible for what it called an illegal intrusion, it said Thursday. The FAA is also investigating, it said. The drone was spotted about 9:15 p.m. by controllers in the airport’s tower, prompting them to switch runways, hold flights on the ground, and to divert one flight to another airport, the agencies said. Multiple law enforcement agencies and firefighters attempted unsuccessfully to locate the operator of the device.<br/>
