A Delta Airlines pilot encountered a frightening situation while landing a flight carrying more than 100 passengers at New York City's LaGuardia Airport on Tuesday night. An anonymous caller had falsely reported a rocket launcher on the ground, prompting concern during the approach.
The incident occurred as the aircraft prepared to touch down. The pilot received the alarming report amid the landing sequence over the airport.
Authorities determined the call was unfounded after investigation. The false alert created tense moments for the flight crew but did not result in any further disruption.
No injuries or damage were reported from the event. The matter is being treated as a case involving a hoax call.
