"Black Tuesday" is a level in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This level starts on Day 2 - 10:18:08. The player takes control of Derek "Frost" Westbrook, a Delta Force operator in New York.

Gameplay
The level begins with the player, Sgt. Derek "Frost" Westbrook and Sandman climbing from the wreckage of an overturned Humvee in Manhattan. They emerge to find themselves and a friendly Stryker battalion under attack from Russian infantry and vehicles. The player fights his way up the street, past heavy resistance and meets up with a convoy of Strykers at the corner of Exchange and Broadway.

Frost, Sandman and the convoy are then ambushed by a Mi-24 at an enemy roadblock, forcing the team of Deltas to circumnavigate the road block and enter another building.

As the team reaches the, they fight their way through the trade floor and take a service ladder to the roof. Using thermite, Frost destroys the radio jammer on the roof, restoring radio communications to friendly forces. They then come under attack from enemy forces positioned on some nearby rooftops.

Frost uses guided missiles from a Reaper Drone to neutralize the enemy troops, as well as an enemy gunship. A Black Hawk then arrives, extracting the team, but they are pursued by several Hinds. The player mans a minigun and destroys several gunships, but one of them collides with the Black Hawk, causing it to spin out and Frost is nearly thrown out of the cabin. The pilot eventually regains control of the helicopter and the team proceeds to their next mission in New York Harbor.
