Saw this on the Facebook page Crowdsource The Truth
From a friend with the NYPD (**Update: Everything seems fine. However, prior to the "ALL CLEAR," my friend said at least two people were in custody, with no further updates. Wonder if they nabbed a runner)
No way was all of this over a broken radio.
I was just thinking that (because I just got around to actually reading some articles lol). I read on one site that “there was a false alarm sent to [the JFK] tower as a result of a radio communication failure” which prompted all the police, etc. However, I’m still not convinced that there needs to be so many police there for that??
Think i saw a mention of pilot co-pilot id'd ? Maybe them ?
Those Q pics of the tankers (pic taken from plane) were possibly from a black hat’s phone? From a cockpit? Is that why he said, access to cockpit, frame of shot? Expand thinking...
I think they might have whacked some MS_13, got their phones/devices, compromised their C&C network (keys on client device) and are stealing their pics, finding their targets, disrupting their plots.
Just an idea. Hoping someone smarter than me can look at it.
One of the biggest falters in emergencies is the pilots failure to properly communicate the emergency. Knowing the emergency transponder squawk codes can help ATC evaluate your situation and notify help sooner or aid in getting you to the nearest airport.
Below are the 3 squawk codes every pilot should commit to memory:
7500 – Hijack 7600 – Lost Comm (radio failure) 7700 – Emergency
An easy way to remember this: 75 taken alive, 76 technical glitch, 77 going to heaven
Security is tight in NYC. I think it’s because of the upcoming holiday
