Summary
A firework slammed into a Delta flight moments before landing in Chicago—barely 200 feet off the ground. The pilot radioed in after hearing a loud bang, and while all 58 people on board escaped unharmed, the FAA is now investigating. Officials in Chicago reportedly knew of similar incidents that night, raising alarms about safety during fireworks season. Thankfully, no damage was found, but this close call underscores how dangerous airspace can be during celebrations.
