A pilot flying a Delta Air Lines regional jet on Friday apologized to his passengers after making a hard turn to avoid colliding with a US Air Force B-52 bomber, audio from the incident shows.

The incident occurred on SkyWest Flight 3788, which was operating as a Delta Connection flight, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Minot, North Dakota, SkyWest said in a statement.

The flight 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,” the statement read.

    I mean, you can have worse than chemical spills with trains. You can have entire towns blowing up. But yeah, you’ll probably get even worse with ATC.

      I was thinking about that one derailing that dumped chlorine and more or less sterilized an entire valley back in the 80s(?). When I say chemical spill I meant worst case chemical spill.
