“Air-traffic controllers in other West Coast areas similarly ordered aircraft down, according to recordings shared online.”
Looks like someone might have been concerned about the Norks detonating an orbital or suborbital nuke (EMP).
I imagine they don’t want civilian aircraft to be in the path of anything outgoing.
The nerdy little Kimmy had better not accidentally drop one of his wild missiles on the USA. Even with half the country filled with Dem traitors, the other half of us would be gosh durned mad about it.
Maybe part his hair with a missile from an F-35A. Stand there really still, Kimmy.
Data: The Air Force, U.S. Navy and Raytheon Technologies have successfully test-fired an AIM-9X Block I missile at a target in the air from an F-35A aircraft. The F-35 can carry up to two AIM-9X missiles on its wings and four AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles internally.
Not buying the Korea narrative.
That doesn’t even make sense.
There is more here than is being reported.
The only possible reason I can think of is if it had a live thermonuclear warhead and even then, the alert should be at Kwaj.
Very strange.
Did any politicians bail out to remote areas?
(CNN) — A ground stop was issued to some West Coast pilots for a short period of time following a North American Aerospace Defense Command alert of a launch of a North Korean missile, a US official said Tuesday.
The official says it was not a national ground stop and may have been issued by a regional air traffic control facility.
The Federal Aviation Administration, responsible for the nation’s air traffic control system, and NORAD have not responded to CNN’s multiple requests for comment on why some pilots were ordered to land and prevented from taking off from multiple West Coast airports on Monday afternoon, citing a “national ground stop.”
LiveATC air traffic control recordings of the Burbank Airport in California detail a controller telling a Southwest flight “there’s ground stops all departures, all airports right now. The message we got is it’s until further notice.”
Another recording of the control tower frequency in Hillsboro, Oregon, captures the controller telling the pilot of a Cessna to land, saying “we just got a notice that we need to do a national ground stop.”
A spokesperson for the San Diego International Airport told CNN the airport “was instructed by Air Traffic Control that there was a national ground stop but shortly after [5-7 minutes] our operations team was told it was lifted.”
If Trump was in office, this would have been 24/7 news about his failures.
