The US Air Force has not released any statement in the matter. NEW: Delta pilot makes an 'aggressive maneuver' to avoid colliding with a B-52 bomber above Minot, North Dakota. New audio footage captured by a passenger onboard the plane reveals what exactly happened, according to the pilot. 'Given his speed … I don't know how fast they… — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) July 20, 2025 While apologizing to passengers, the pilot reportedly said 'Given his speed…I don't know how fast they were going, but they were a lot faster than us, I felt it was the safest thing to do to turn behind it. So sorry about the aggressive maneuver, it caught me by surprise, this is not normal at all. I don't know why they didn't give us a heads up, because the Air Force base does have radar.' It was not clear how close the B-52 bomber and the Delta Airlines' jet came to each other and whether the cockpit alarm was activated to alert the pilots of a potential collision. A New York Post report, quoting KFYR TV, stated the passengers inside the Delta plane remained 'weirdly calm' as the commercial jet made an 'aggressive maneuver' with sharp turns. 'I felt like I was gaslighting myself, like maybe I was being crazy, because no one else was reacting,' a passenger Monica Green said. A SkyWest spokesperson said, 'SkyWest flight 3788, operating as Delta Connection from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Minot, North Dakota, landed safely in Minot after being cleared for approach by the tower but performed a go-around when another aircraft became visible in their flight path. We are investigating the incident.'

Delta Airlines plane crash in Toronto sparks sarcastic MAGA reactions on social media
The Delta Airlines plane crash in Toronto on Monday set off a storm of reactions online, with users speculating on the cause of the accident. While some sarcastically blamed U.S. President Donald Trump, others pointed to Delta Airlines' Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies or harsh weather conditions as potential factors. Social media quickly flooded with responses, particularly from Trump supporters who mocked the tendency to blame the president for various crises. 'Plane crashes in Canada. Trump's fault. No thinkers, just reactionaries,' one user posted on X. Another countered, stating, 'This has absolutely nothing to do with the Trump administration. It was the high winds in Toronto that caused the plane to flip.' The 78-year-old U.S. president has faced scrutiny following multiple aviation incidents since taking office on January 20. However, aviation experts emphasize that weather conditions in Toronto, including high winds, likely played a significant role in the crash. Delta Airlines has yet to issue a detailed report on the cause of the accident, but early reports suggest that extreme weather conditions may have been responsible. The incident adds to growing concerns about flight safety as aviation authorities investigate recent crashes. As debates rage online, the actual cause of the crash remains under investigation, with officials expected to release further details in the coming days.
