The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a Southwest flight that veered off course while approaching New York’s LaGuardia Airport, possibly flying over the air traffic control tower with minimal clearance. The incident occurred after the pilots aborted their first landing attempt due to bad weather. The plane drifted off course during the second approach, prompting urgent instructions from the air traffic controller to climb to 2,000 feet. The flight tracker data suggests the plane may have flown over the terminal building, not the runway. Southwest Airlines is reviewing the event as part of its safety protocols, and the flight eventually landed safely after briefly diverting to Baltimore/Washington International Airport.
