Anadolu / Anadolu via Getty ImagesDelta Flight 1076 from Atlanta was reportedly struck by fireworks soon before it landed in Chicago at 8:33 p.m. Saturday night, according to the airline. A recording of the incident reports a warning from an air traffic controller, stating: “Delta 1076... use caution, there are multiple homes near the approach end shooting off fireworks.
