@@FulsomeMcGinley Also just bringing the supervisor over so that they can hear it in the pilots own words rather than playing word-telephone with a complex situation.
I'm confused. The pilot asked ATC if the airplane would need to be checked and ATC said "up to you." There was a bomb threat against this airplane and they would just let this plane taxi to the gate, business as usual? Normally when there's this kind of threat, they'd send the airplane to a remote parking spot for police to check the plane, wouldn't they?
That wasn't why they asked about the plane being checked. The plane landed overweight. That's why they asked for ARFF to be standing by, Landing overweight can cause the brakes to overheat to the point it sets the tires on fire. The check had NOTHING to do with the bomb threat. Here I thought people viewing this channel understood how aircraft work...
I believe the check they’re referring to is a break overheating check (making sure it’s not on fire) due to the overweight landing. It’s not a safety check for the threat.
I was thinking the same thing but they were just non chalantly referring to having ARFF check the brakes for overheating or potential fire. They were not even referring to checking the aircraft for a bomb. Can't believe they didn't park in an isolated spot and sweep that whole aircraft with dogs.

@@kateorman well there is a $37,000 fine and possibly 2 years federal prison time for assaulting any crew members on a US flight so I’d imagine it is must be heftier than that for a bomb threat.

If an aircraft is landing overweight, you want to use the longest available runway. The bomb may or may not exist, and even if it detonates, a plane at low altitude is unpressurized and is unlikely to sustain catastrophic structural damage.

I was once on a plane involved in a bomb scare. We landed at the nearest airport and were taxied to a remote part of the field. They bussed us to the terminal and we had a wait of a few hours while the hold was searched by the bomb squad before the flight was resumed. It's surprising that this flight went straight to the gate. If there was an explosion, that would surely have increased the risk of casualties?
Most explosives that can down a plane can't cause catastrophic damage of the kind you're probably thinking of. Unfortunately, it's within the realm of possibility to sneak about 200~300g of plastic explosive on-board (it can be molded into a space, or be smuggled in as a powder), which for the largest yield types is enough to probably down a plane. However, any more than that, an amount that would send pieces of the aircraft flying, or cause significant collateral damage, is more doubtful. Imagine trying to sneak a big bag of powder past airport security. It's also why many airports have liquid restrictions at security, about 100ml or less. Besides that, it also depends on the way the airport is set up. Speed is also of the essence, so if it's significantly faster to get the bomb squad through the gate, they may opt for that. And at LAX, there may not be such a 'remote' area, at least not one where they can get emergency services to in good order.
@@NACLGames This was back in the 70s, which I'm guessing was before explosive scanners. There had been some kind of cockup and they realised that there were two passengers who weren't on the plane but their luggage was still in the hold. So they may have been concerned it was a substantial bomb. This was at Paris CDG - the missing passengers were Arabs and there had been multiple recent bombings and hijackings...
Has there been follow-up to any of these? Are passengers getting identified and charged? Huge psychological concern and financial burden to put on crew and pax. Also, so we know what the pax on board are told when the flight turns around in this type of situation?
@@amb865 My friend was on AA 928. In that case at least, the passenger was identified during the flight and was removed at gunpoint when the plane landed and taken into custody.
without having finished the video yet, I'm assuming it was some kid/teen who was dumb enough to think it would be funny and that he would remain antonymous, and didn't think twice. If that's true, I wish we could teach kids, and teenagers like me, to have more common sense. If it wasn't a joke, good thing the bomb failed. Edit: well I guess I'll never know, but I have a pretty good idea. It probably was a joke, but who knows if it was some kid or some really stupid adult.
Kids should have enough common sense to not do something like this. I mean do they still tell the don't cry wolf story? My guess is this kid is spoiled and the parents never punish him for his actions, but he will be now
@@Teh_Random_Canadian unfortunately the internet has offered an alternative. If you are anonymous consequences don't matter. That and kids falling down rabbit holes of "edgy" humor not realizing its shaping their sense of morality.
I’ve worked from home for 5 years and someone the other day asked me if I get sick of it. This is a week after I was molested by a drunk woman on a plane coming home from a work conference. I said absolutely not - the weirdos of the world don’t bother me at my house.
Disrupting work. I am based from the I.T field, we even had bomb threats in core places like Datacenters too. Had all employees standing outside for just hours to "check if it's safe", the threats came from a totally unrelated e-mail
Bomb threats are normal in schools too. Especially when someone hasn't studied for an exam that day. Sometimes people just pull the fire alarm. A common deterrent is to put a rule that any exam/quiz/hw/deadline will still continue on the same day as soon as threat is clear.
Why, is that what you were trying to do? Hey man, you got issues, just take yourself out. Don't mess with other people's lives. An airdrop text? Seriously? Wow. You need help, dude.
Nothing good, I hope. 2 years ago wife was returning to Europe from SFO... So being a flying enthusiast, I was watching closely on flightradar24. So I see the plane accelerating, then rejected takeoff... WTF...? She later told me (when she got online) that some VIP missed the flight and they had to go back to pick him/her (or at least that was the announcement).
Disappointing judgment here, you possibly have a bomb on board given a text received by Air Drop. It’s assessed correctly best to return to land. HOWEVER tower allows the plane to go back to a gate near airport AND other planes and passengers.
Did we watch the same video? They had the aircraft park on taxiway hotel to be assessed and allow police to board, which is between the two runways and far from the terminals or other aircraft. Before you make an ignorant comment watch the entire video.
@@catherinebowman3097 would love to hear a detailed breakdown from your point of view. Did everyone on the plane know what was going on and why you diverted? Did swat or the bomb sqaud sweep the plane? How long were you back on the ground before disembarking?
@@vrdog9660 A bomb threat is not an emergency (yet). There are countless hoaxes that circulated in planes many times but proved to not be real. If you were in a hurry for an international meeting, will you be happy to be delayed just for a little prank on someone else in a different plane? BUT, if the bomb is proved to be real, then the pilot would declare mayday.
And then the plane blew up !? The mad bomber escaped out the emergency exit door and ran to has freedom across the runway and almost made it but got hit by a landing 747 ?! What happened ?
Hope so, still a stupid thing to do but at least its more understandable then an adult doing it. Regardless of the age a child should know better then this
Googled trying to find out more info about this. Apparently, this has been happening more than once. Same thing happened on a flight out of Albuquerque Oct 3, and in Charlotte in August of this year. Is some stupid tik tok video causing idiots to do this?
Not entirely true. A plane can suffer catastrophic damage and still manage to fly. Unless they bombed a critical part it would most likely just do superficial damage to the plane and kill the people near the blast. This also depends on how big the explosion is.
It's interesting how on one hand this is serious enough threat that they decide to land overweight, buy not serious enough to avoid flying over the city. If the bomb was real and gone off on final, that would be one of the biggest accidents in aviation history
Narrowbody aircraft without fuel dumping capabilities including the A321neo in this video are certified to land overweight safely. They just have to do the performance calculations to ensure it's within margins and afterwards perform an overweight landing inspection to verify the absence of structural damage. Especially with a long runway like LAX, landing overweight is no problem :)
The difference between MTOW and MLW is relatively small in single aisle Airbus so subtract the fuel burn-off from the initial climb out and the return and it would mean it wasn't massively overweight. Not really an issue for it. Especially landing on a long runwaylike LAX.
So they bothered to do all that, coming back and landing heavy, but didn't bother to search the plane? Didn't divert it away from heavily populated areas? Didn't take it to a less busy runway?
Punishment for bomb threats on planes: Automatic no-fly list, automatic no-passport for life, automatically charged with counts of attempted murder in the first degree, one for every single person on the plane and second degree murder for the number of people residing in the population center (s) that the aircraft flies over. Automatic full confiscation of any and all personal possessions and assets, automatic trial at the federal level with the death penalty being strongly considered. On conviction, the offender loses their American citizenship and in engaging in their behavior they agree that the attempted crime committed is a heinous act which violates the Geneva Convention and it no longer applies to them. They are then sent off to Guantanamo Bay to never be seen from again and then have their body disposed of in a mass grave
I've always been confused about the verification of flight deck secure. Couldn't a perp just learn how to talk to an ATC and say the same thing? There's no pilot ID verification or authentication code or anything being exchanged.
Captain here. In the end turned out it was just a prank and everyone bursted with laughter. The teenager who sent the text has later became a comedian on SNL.
Say reason level 3 threat level was declared?? How about a fully fueled plane, 200+ passengers, over a major metropolitan are and airport?? The people who craft these bomb threats should be imprisoned for life.
To any non-aviation folks out there: Please tell your kids this isn't funny. It cost more than the price of your parents' car to divert this aircraft, not to mention terrifying the passengers, ruining a lot of folks' vacations and wasting thousands of gallons of fuel. All for what was probably a teenager's stupid joke. Tell them to find some other way to entertain themselves. Start a minecraft server on the airplane wifi or something.
I get that if there WAS a bomb this would be extremely threatening, but what was likely a kid making a dumb threat shouldn't be a reason to land? anyone could say there's a bomb, you need no proof to claim there's a bomb?
I know it would have been a light tail wind but why vector a aircraft with a bomb threat all over LA and not a straight in over the ocean. Seems like 9/11 and Lockerbie is far too distant in some peoples minds
My thoughts also. Why make a right hand turn over some islands then over California north of LA. I would have made the plane make a left hand turn and come straight into the airport, avoiding land as much as possible. The ATC’s should have been fired for acting stupid. Also why do they need to ask for a reason for the threat level, when the pilots told them the reason more than once. Definitely some incompetent ATC’s.
@@paulready8897 it's not that simple. First of all the pilot didn't declare mayday. Second, turning back with a left hand turn to the opposite runway would require a lot of planes to just stop taking off or transitioning through that area
you are in flight: *If a threat is received against your aircraft while in flight, carry out a search checking those places which are often overlooked during security checks on the ground, but where an article might easily be concealed - toilets, galleys, jump seats, stowage areas, closets etc. Try and do it discreetly to avoid unnecessary worry for pax. *If an article is found, do not move it or touch it. Move pax away from the immediate area, and remove any flammable items and have fire extinguishers ready in case. A PA asking for anyone onboard with ‘BD or EOD experience’ might help - these are terms which experts will recognize without saying “Hey, passengers, is there a bomb expert onboard?” "Not terrifying your passengers is probably a good call, but ensuring they are following your crew’s orders, and that they are prepared for the situation on the ground, is also necessary. This means providing them with clear information, but without dramatizing the situation." “Ladies and Gentlemen, we have received a message that a threat has been made against one of our aircraft/an aircraft in this airspace. These threats do happen, however, until we can establish how credible it is, we will take all possible precautions and therefore intend to land at… in…” Keep calm & Fly safe 🙏

They can sometimes send ACARS text messages but it's a pain to do and increases the pilots' workload during a critical phase of flight. But yeah, there really should be an encrypted frequency or something to communicate security-critical information with ATC.
I've been paying for YT Premium for the last 5 years or so, so I haven't seen an ad in years. But I'm curious, how often do ads come up in a video of this type (ATC, and relatively short). Thanks.
CLIFY is a waypoint on the RYDRR2 arrival. It would already be programmed in to the FMS once the pilots decided to return to LAX and were assigned that particular arrival. They likely told them to go direct to CLIFY to simplify the approach and cut a few track miles off to get them down faster. They also told them to maintain 250 knots instead of the published 210 at that point on the arrival likely for the same reason.
I know it would have been a light tail wind but why vector a possible aircraft with a bomb all over LA and not a straight in over the ocean. Seems like 9/11 and Lockerbie is far too distant in some peoples minds
"There's a possible bomb in this plane. Let's fly over the maximum amount of land so the bomber can select between a variety of targets to take us down." If they are not gonna take him seriously, just keep flying, but don't take half measures 🤦♂
There is probably some dumbass that tries this on every flight; this was the first time there was anyone on board that had "airdrop from randos" turned on ;)
It has to come from the pilot directly as he is talking to different controllers when he changes frequencies. The story gets changed overtime as it gets passed along that’s why it comes from the pilot directly. It’s for accuracy
I was surprised “number of souls” was asked. I was taught that wasn’t relevant and shouldn’t waste valuable time asking. It was always nature if emergency, aircraft type, and pilot’s desired course of action.
Wdym that’s always asked if there’s a threat on a plane. That’s pretty necessary info. They even do that if you’re dive bombing towards the ground basically.
“How many people should ARFF look for in the wreckage?” Is what they’re really asking. And they ask any time an emergency is declared. Same thing for fuel. “How much fuel remaining in minutes?” Means “how long until you have to be on the ground?” And “How much fuel remaining in pounds?” Means “how much should we expect you to burn?”
Its so that the ground handlers know how may people thay have to handle, especially if its heading to a remote stand and they have to put the passengers on buses.
Or if there is some explosion or fire, they would need to know how many people to attempt to rescue from danger and when to evacuate if everyone is out of danger and there is no more need to endanger safety personnel.
Sounds like the ATC is stupid. Pilots stated the reason for the threat level on numerous occasions, yet they asked the flight to state the reason for the threat level. The ATC needs to be fired for incompetency.
The main reason is to analyze potential changes in "pilot" speech, accent etc. which indicates flight deck is no longer secured and aircraft could be used as weapon. Second is for further investigation: all ATC - Pilot or Cockpit sound are recorded, but they potentially could be corrupted. Having 3 is better than one record's about threat. Same as police: "Two is one, one is none" ;)
I had a Threat Level 3 going on in the bathroom earlier today. There was a lot of sweating, straining and tears but god damn it - I won. I’ll be damned if I find myself in that kind of situation again.
I think it's also a 7500. The thing is, the pilot already declared an emergency, the ATC treated it as an emergency, and that's it. I don't know is there any regulation says that squawk 7700 is mandatory to emergency aircraft.
American 297 is from LAX to HNL. There wasn't a word mentioned in the media in Hawaii about this incident. How does someone text multiple strangers on a plane?
I am an old fart, so I don't know how this AirDrop stuff works. But, I heard someone say that the sender has to be near the recipient. That means every passenger on that flight should have their phone records checked. The flight was approximately 100 miles off the coast of California at the time the pilot reported the threat, so obviously the culprit must have been aboard the flight. Unless the person was trying to commit suicide it was probably a sick prank. The other question would be how would the perpetrator get the text numbers to other passengers on the flight unless there was a group traveling together? There seems to be underlying circumstances here that need looking into.
The AirDrop function is Bluetooth based so yes, it would definitely be a person on the same aircraft who sent it. I'm sure it was supposed to be a prank but if they caught the person they'll face felony charges for it.
Basically you can send a image or message to any other iPhone near you, no matter if you have their number or not. It's a good feature but some people do stupid stuff like this with it.
@@iiApyxRUclips You'd think the default mode would either be off or to only allow your known contacts to send. Not to play the OS game but Android's similar feature is set that way (not that it matters for this since nobody would bother trying that just so they could annoy the only 5 people on the plane with Galaxys like me)
The airdrop doesn't require you to know numbers of people. You just have the Bluetooth on and share to other Appl users and they choose to look or reject the share

There had been some kind of cockup and they realised that there were two passengers who weren't on the plane but their luggage was still in the hold. So they may have been concerned it was a substantial bomb. This was at Paris CDG - the missing passengers were Arabs and there had been multiple recent bombings and hijackings...
Same stupid move just occurred on an American flight from DFW to ABQ this past weekend. Airdropped the same messages.
Thank you. What flight number was that?
@@YouCanSeeATC AAL928 / AA928 Sunday, Oct 2nd, I believe.
@@YouCanSeeATC edit to my reply below, meant to say Sunday the 2nd of October.
Has there been follow-up to any of these? Are passengers getting identified and charged? Huge psychological concern and financial burden to put on crew and pax. Also, so we know what the pax on board are told when the flight turns around in this type of situation?
@@amb865 My friend was on AA 928. In that case at least, the passenger was identified during the flight and was removed at gunpoint when the plane landed and taken into custody.
without having finished the video yet, I'm assuming it was some kid/teen who was dumb enough to think it would be funny and that he would remain antonymous, and didn't think twice. If that's true, I wish we could teach kids, and teenagers like me, to have more common sense. If it wasn't a joke, good thing the bomb failed.
Edit: well I guess I'll never know, but I have a pretty good idea. It probably was a joke, but who knows if it was some kid or some really stupid adult.
Kids should have enough common sense to not do something like this. I mean do they still tell the don't cry wolf story? My guess is this kid is spoiled and the parents never punish him for his actions, but he will be now
According to another commenter who said she was on the flight, you were right it was a kid because a whole family has been escorted out by the police
@@Teh_Random_Canadian unfortunately the internet has offered an alternative. If you are anonymous consequences don't matter. That and kids falling down rabbit holes of "edgy" humor not realizing its shaping their sense of morality.
The last 30 seconds of this video pretty well sums up how much a pilot's discretion is trusted under a declared emergency.
The last 30 seconds was because they were overweight... The over processes were followed.
It would be cool if there was a clock somewhere to show how long returning / flying back took but otherwise awesome work :)
Okay, thank you.
Seem to be more and more psychologically messed up people every day. It's getting weirder and weirder out there.
It's getting a real problem.
I’ve worked from home for 5 years and someone the other day asked me if I get sick of it. This is a week after I was molested by a drunk woman on a plane coming home from a work conference.

Disrupting work. I am based from the I.T field, we even had bomb threats in core places like Datacenters too. Had all employees standing outside for just hours to "check if it's safe", the threats came from a totally unrelated e-mail
Bomb threats are normal in schools too. Especially when someone hasn't studied for an exam that day. Sometimes people just pull the fire alarm.
A common deterrent is to put a rule that any exam/quiz/hw/deadline will still continue on the same day as soon as threat is clear.
Would be great to hear all other frequenies in the area on another video to see if planes got delayed or diverted because of this.
Why, is that what you were trying to do? Hey man, you got issues, just take yourself out. Don't mess with other people's lives. An airdrop text? Seriously? Wow. You need help, dude.

Nothing good, I hope. 2 years ago wife was returning to Europe from SFO... So being a flying enthusiast, I was watching closely on flightradar24. So I see the plane accelerating, then rejected takeoff... WTF...? She later told me (when she got online) that some VIP missed the flight and they had to go back to pick him/her (or at least that was the announcement).
He was fined $50 by the SEC.
According to a commenter, a family was escorted out by the police. Nothing else is known but by seeing this we can tell it was most likely a kid

@@Wheeloffortunefan999 ... and they say we don’t need fact checkers 😁
Disappointing judgment here, you possibly have a bomb on board given a text received by Air Drop. It’s assessed correctly best to return to land. HOWEVER tower allows the plane to go back to a gate near airport AND other planes and passengers.
Did we watch the same video? They had the aircraft park on taxiway hotel to be assessed and allow police to board, which is between the two runways and far from the terminals or other aircraft. Before you make an ignorant comment watch the entire video.
@@vrdog9660 Read my reply above, same goes for you.

They taxied to the gate. I was on the flight.

Did everyone on the plane know what was going on and why you diverted?
Did swat or the bomb sqaud sweep the plane?
How long were you back on the ground before disembarking?
Vectored all over the sky , questioning the return , asked the same level 3 question multiple times. Not the best job by ATC this go time…
I think a possible reason for all that was to make sure it was actually a pilot flying and not someone who hijacked the plane.
@@vrdog9660 the pilot didn't declare mayday
@@vrdog9660 A bomb threat is not an emergency (yet). There are countless hoaxes that circulated in planes many times but proved to not be real. If you were in a hurry for an international meeting, will you be happy to be delayed just for a little prank on someone else in a different plane? BUT, if the bomb is proved to be real, then the pilot would declare mayday.
I believe ATC will give random vectors to make sure it's actually the pilot flying.
Calm and collected pilot, good job
And then the plane blew up !? The mad bomber escaped out the emergency exit door and ran to has freedom across the runway and almost made it but got hit by a landing 747 ?! What happened ?
the fact this was probably a 10 year old thinking they were funny
Hope so, still a stupid thing to do but at least its more understandable then an adult doing it. Regardless of the age a child should know better then this
Surprised they went right to a gate. I thought with any security issue like that they’d go to a remote pad far away from the terminal.
Imagine if this happen in your plane. That’s why my parents won’t go on flights anymore.
Googled trying to find out more info about this. Apparently, this has been happening more than once. Same thing happened on a flight out of Albuquerque Oct 3, and in Charlotte in August of this year. Is some stupid tik tok video causing idiots to do this?
Is it a new "get a felony and ruin your life" type of challenge?
This is why everyone must disable airdrop from their devices.
In college i’ve been air carpet nuking people’s apple devices with the photo of a potato
🤣🤣 That sounds fun
I would get an iPhone just to prank random people with memes
Yea… that can be traced… and yea… they are going to big boy prison.
Unfortunately, if whoever it was *actually* bombed that plane, it wouldnt matter if the flight deck was secure......
That would be the upmost priority until you’re parked
Not entirely true. A plane can suffer catastrophic damage and still manage to fly. Unless they bombed a critical part it would most likely just do superficial damage to the plane and kill the people near the blast. This also depends on how big the explosion is.
What happened to the perpetrator?
It's interesting how on one hand this is serious enough threat that they decide to land overweight, buy not serious enough to avoid flying over the city. If the bomb was real and gone off on final, that would be one of the biggest accidents in aviation history
Narrowbody aircraft without fuel dumping capabilities including the A321neo in this video are certified to land overweight safely. They just have to do the performance calculations to ensure it's within margins and afterwards perform an overweight landing inspection to verify the absence of structural damage. Especially with a long runway like LAX, landing overweight is no problem :)
The difference between MTOW and MLW is relatively small in single aisle Airbus so subtract the fuel burn-off from the initial climb out and the return and it would mean it wasn't massively overweight. Not really an issue for it. Especially landing on a long runwaylike LAX.
So they bothered to do all that, coming back and landing heavy,
but didn't bother to search the plane?
Didn't divert it away from heavily populated areas?
Didn't take it to a less busy runway?
Punishment for bomb threats on planes: Automatic no-fly list, automatic no-passport for life, automatically charged with counts of attempted murder in the first degree, one for every single person on the plane and second degree murder for the number of people residing in the population center (s) that the aircraft flies over. Automatic full confiscation of any and all personal possessions and assets, automatic trial at the federal level with the death penalty being strongly considered. On conviction, the offender loses their American citizenship and in engaging in their behavior they agree that the attempted crime committed is a heinous act which violates the Geneva Convention and it no longer applies to them. They are then sent off to Guantanamo Bay to never be seen from again and then have their body disposed of in a mass grave
I've always been confused about the verification of flight deck secure. Couldn't a perp just learn how to talk to an ATC and say the same thing? There's no pilot ID verification or authentication code or anything being exchanged.
Anything to get attention. Some people are such pathetic beings. Quite literally have nothing going for them, it’s actually sad.
Someone who would bomb a plane would not "airdrop" it........ they would just bomb the plane.
What a sassy “roger” at 3:34 😂
Captain here. In the end turned out it was just a prank and everyone bursted with laughter. The teenager who sent the text has later became a comedian on SNL.
Say reason level 3 threat level was declared?? How about a fully fueled plane, 200+ passengers, over a major metropolitan are and airport??
The people who craft these bomb threats should be imprisoned for life.
Those people are potential danger. I can only imagine how many situation are happening around the world that we're not aware.
That's not what they asked.. They aren't looking for if the pilot is stupid lmao, they want to know what the issue is so they can plan accordingly
To any non-aviation folks out there: Please tell your kids this isn't funny. It cost more than the price of your parents' car to divert this aircraft, not to mention terrifying the passengers, ruining a lot of folks' vacations and wasting thousands of gallons of fuel. All for what was probably a teenager's stupid joke. Tell them to find some other way to entertain themselves. Start a minecraft server on the airplane wifi or something.
I get that if there WAS a bomb this would be extremely threatening, but what was likely a kid making a dumb threat shouldn't be a reason to land? anyone could say there's a bomb, you need no proof to claim there's a bomb?
I know it would have been a light tail wind but why vector a aircraft with a bomb threat all over LA and not a straight in over the ocean. Seems like 9/11 and Lockerbie is far too distant in some peoples minds
Exactly. Seems like keeping a plane in this scenario away from a densely populated metro area should be SOP.
My thoughts also. Why make a right hand turn over some islands then over California north of LA. I would have made the plane make a left hand turn and come straight into the airport, avoiding land as much as possible. The ATC’s should have been fired for acting stupid. Also why do they need to ask for a reason for the threat level, when the pilots told them the reason more than once. Definitely some incompetent ATC’s.
@@paulready8897 it's not that simple. First of all the pilot didn't declare mayday. Second, turning back with a left hand turn to the opposite runway would require a lot of planes to just stop taking off or transitioning through that area
you are in flight:
*If a threat is received against your aircraft while in flight, carry out a search checking those places which are often overlooked during security checks on the ground, but where an article might easily be concealed - toilets, galleys, jump seats, stowage areas, closets etc. Try and do it discreetly to avoid unnecessary worry for pax.
*If an article is found, do not move it or touch it. Move pax away from the immediate area, and remove any flammable items and have fire extinguishers ready in case. A PA asking for anyone onboard with ‘BD or EOD experience’ might help - these are terms which experts will recognize without saying “Hey, passengers, is there a bomb expert onboard?”
"Not terrifying your passengers is probably a good call, but ensuring they are following your crew’s orders, and that they are prepared for the situation on the ground, is also necessary. This means providing them with clear information, but without dramatizing the situation."
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we have received a message that a threat has been made against one of our aircraft/an aircraft in this airspace. These threats do happen, however, until we can establish how credible it is, we will take all possible precautions and therefore intend to land at… in…”
Keep calm & Fly safe 🙏
Why not a direct approach instead of flying over LA?
A Possible bomb on board, and they are flying over a populated area?
Don’t make this kind of jokes, we are trained to take them seriously.

Good grief.. 6 hours non-stop on a narrow body plane?

That American 297 pilot sounds like Bill Hader.
Not sure that deliberately flying a bomb TO Los Angeles is the correct response.
Why would ATC drag a bomb threat aircraft over LA? In this situation I think you make an opposite direction landing and get them on the ground asap.
On some American flights there has been on phones and other some Burping and vomiting sounds. The crew members is staying near their phones
And who pays for all the lost time and missed connections the passengers suffered? The person sending the text must tracked down and forced to pay each passenger for their losses.

There should be a more secure means to transmit this kind of threat.
They can sometimes send ACARS text messages but it's a pain to do and increases the pilots' workload during a critical phase of flight. But yeah, there really should be an encrypted frequency or something to communicate security-critical information with ATC.

is "CLIFY" some kind of locator visible on the aircraft systems? is the tower able to send data over the air for example coordinates or anything else?
CLIFY is a waypoint on the RYDRR2 arrival. It would already be programmed in to the FMS once the pilots decided to return to LAX and were assigned that particular arrival. They likely told them to go direct to CLIFY to simplify the approach and cut a few track miles off to get them down faster. They also told them to maintain 250 knots instead of the published 210 at that point on the arrival likely for the same reason.
@@justadudeffsthanks for the explanation 🙂
CLIFY is like a waypoint among a certain route.

well this is going to turn into a everyday phenomenon
There is probably some dumbass that tries this on every flight; this was the first time there was anyone on board that had "airdrop from randos" turned on ;)
Pilot shouldn't have to repeat reason for the threat; that should be passed to the proper people after the first time
It has to come from the pilot directly as he is talking to different controllers when he changes frequencies. The story gets changed overtime as it gets passed along that’s why it comes from the pilot directly. It’s for accuracy
I was surprised “number of souls” was asked. I was taught that wasn’t relevant and shouldn’t waste valuable time asking. It was always nature if emergency, aircraft type, and pilot’s desired course of action.
Wdym that’s always asked if there’s a threat on a plane. That’s pretty necessary info. They even do that if you’re dive bombing towards the ground basically.
“How many people should ARFF look for in the wreckage?” Is what they’re really asking. And they ask any time an emergency is declared. Same thing for fuel. “How much fuel remaining in minutes?” Means “how long until you have to be on the ground?” And “How much fuel remaining in pounds?” Means “how much should we expect you to burn?”
Its so that the ground handlers know how may people thay have to handle, especially if its heading to a remote stand and they have to put the passengers on buses.
Or if there is some explosion or fire, they would need to know how many people to attempt to rescue from danger and when to evacuate if everyone is out of danger and there is no more need to endanger safety personnel.
Sounds like the ATC is stupid. Pilots stated the reason for the threat level on numerous occasions, yet they asked the flight to state the reason for the threat level. The ATC needs to be fired for incompetency.
It’s because they were talking to multiple controllers. Each controller they speak with has to have the story first hand directly from the pilot
The main reason is to analyze potential changes in "pilot" speech, accent etc. which indicates flight deck is no longer secured and aircraft could be used as weapon. Second is for further investigation: all ATC - Pilot or Cockpit sound are recorded, but they potentially could be corrupted. Having 3 is better than one record's about threat.
Same as police: "Two is one, one is none" ;)
I had a Threat Level 3 going on in the bathroom earlier today. There was a lot of sweating, straining and tears but god damn it - I won. I’ll be damned if I find myself in that kind of situation again.
Like I would, I hope you had ARFF standing by just in case! I did have chili last night!!
Why didnt the pilot squawk 7700 ? Surely this is an emergency situation
Yup, emergency situation.
Because ATC didn't ask for it. It is easier to keep the computer assigned code with the entire data block
NTSB Recommendation from AWE1549-Ability to show discrete code as emergency instead of relying on pilot to change to appropriate squawk code
@@jbreezy101 Do you keep this in your wallet?
I think it's also a 7500. The thing is, the pilot already declared an emergency, the ATC treated it as an emergency, and that's it. I don't know is there any regulation says that squawk 7700 is mandatory to emergency aircraft.
American 297 is from LAX to HNL. There wasn't a word mentioned in the media in Hawaii about this incident. How does someone text multiple strangers on a plane?
The video explains it lol. It wasn't text
I am an old fart, so I don't know how this AirDrop stuff works. But, I heard someone say that the sender has to be near the recipient. That means every passenger on that flight should have their phone records checked. The flight was approximately 100 miles off the coast of California at the time the pilot reported the threat, so obviously the culprit must have been aboard the flight. Unless the person was trying to commit suicide it was probably a sick prank. The other question would be how would the perpetrator get the text numbers to other passengers on the flight unless there was a group traveling together? There seems to be underlying circumstances here that need looking into.
The AirDrop function is Bluetooth based so yes, it would definitely be a person on the same aircraft who sent it. I'm sure it was supposed to be a prank but if they caught the person they'll face felony charges for it.
Basically you can send a image or message to any other iPhone near you, no matter if you have their number or not. It's a good feature but some people do stupid stuff like this with it.
@@iiApyxRUclips You'd think the default mode would either be off or to only allow your known contacts to send.

@@joed180 the default is off, I don’t think it always was, but it is now for every new iphone.
