Shoulder Fired Missile Alert At La Guardia Airport Is Legitimately INSANE

About this video

Max reviews air traffic control audio from LaGuardia Airport where a MANPAD (shoulder-fired missile) alert was issued to an incoming Delta flight during final approach. He explains the vulnerability of commercial aircraft in that phase of flight and discusses how such threats must be taken seriously, even when later deemed not credible.

Key takeaways

• Commercial aircraft are highly vulnerable during approach and landing phases with limited maneuverability
• MANPAD threats (shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles) pose serious risks to civilian aviation near airports
• Pilots have few options when receiving threat warnings during final approach other than to proceed while remaining vigilant
