Summary
A Delta flight landing at Chicago Midway on the Fourth of July was struck by a firework just 200-250 feet off the ground—causing a loud bang but no injuries or major damage. The plane landed safely, and while mechanics found only minor paint scratches, the FAA is investigating. Air traffic control had warned pilots about nearby fireworks, and police confirmed an unknown object hit the Airbus A319. Residents reported non-stop fireworks that night, making the incident both startling and surreal—proof that even with safety protocols, unexpected events can happen right over the runway.
