00:00The parallel is obviously not an exact one.
00:02But do you guys remember when Gatwick Airport had to shut because of the drones and no one really got
00:07to the bottom?
00:08One of the great big unexplained mysteries of the recent past in the UK is whether or not there was
00:13actually a drone at Gatwick Airport.
00:14But the reason that they had to close was because of the fear that there might be drones.
00:19And that fear is like, as Harriet says, like so important.
00:22You know, schools close in Colombia when they're when they hear the kind of the buzzing.
00:27Hospitals have to close.
00:28Local officials have requested army protection.
00:32But it's also, again, you know, like every single topic that we bring, although actually not the damn one, but
00:37every single topic that we seem to bring, we talk about social media.
00:40And all of this, every drone clip that is uploaded to TikTok by a, you know, ELN or by another
00:46of the of the dissidents, it basically reaches a mass audience in Colombia and reshapes the debate around what kind
00:54of security they want.
00:55I mean, the drones are effectively a public relations instrument.
