Summary
Friday night turned into a nightmare for travelers flying from Atlanta to Chicago, with massive delays, cancellations, and chaos before the Fourth of July holiday. A Delta flight landing at Chicago Midway was hit by a firework — pilots reported a “big bang” — though no one was hurt. While it’s unclear if the firework caused the broader flight disruptions, passengers described a surreal scene of gate changes, repeated delays, and stranded travelers stuck in Atlanta overnight. Delta hasn’t confirmed the cause, leaving everyone waiting for answers as the busiest travel season ramps up. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
