Video has emerged on social media that is said to show an apparent launch of a missile, possibly from a submarine, as viewed from a Cathay Pacific Boeing 777 flying over the South China Sea. Unseen individuals can be heard in the clip talking about whether it is heading their way. 6park.com
Twitter user @jchovernut, a pilot for U.S.-based airline Allegiant Air and a veteran of the U.S. Navy's submarine community, posted the video, seen below, online on Tuesday. "They were over the South China Sea & were issued a last-minute hectic call from ATC: 'turn left 90 degrees immediately!!,'" according to one Tweet accompanying the video. 6park.com

We have also reached out Cathay Pacific for comment. 6park.com

At present, it's unclear when or where specifically the video was shot, and it cannot be quickly verified independently. There do not appear to be any readily apparent Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) or other imagery regarding recent missile or rocket launches of any kind in the region. 6park.com
6park.com[iframe][/iframe] 6park.com The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) did announce that it would be conducting drills in the South China Sea between May 19 and May 23, which coincided with U.S. President Joe Biden's visits to South Korea and Japan, but did not mention any planned live-fire missile launches. 6park.com
On May 7, North Korea did test a submarine-launched ballistic missile, but in the East Sea, hundreds of miles away from the South China Sea. In 2017, the crew of Cathay Pacific flight flying north of Japan observed a portion of a North Korean missile test. However, it is unlikely that this video shows that previous incident, as the airline said at the time that what the aircrew saw was parts of the missile falling back to Earth, not being launched. 6park.com
There is, of course, the possibility that this video could show a different, publicly known past event in the South China Sea or somewhere else in the world. 6park.com
If this was indeed an unannounced missile launch from a submarine, or a ship, or some other platform, on the part of the Chinese or another country in the South China Sea, it would seem to have been an extremely reckless decision as evidenced by the apparent presence of the Cathy Pacific flight in the area. Though the plane does not seem to have ever been in imminent danger, or very close to the projectile at at point, there are still obvious risks associated with a launch in any sort of proximity to a route used by commercial aircraft. 6park.com
