Durham couple recounts near-miss on Delta flight
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I.
NEW TONIGHT A DURHAM COUPLE
SHARING THEIR SCARY ENCOUNTER
FLYING ON A DELTA FLIGHT.
>> WHEN THERE WAS A NEAR MISS
WITH AN AIR FORCE B, 52 BOMBER.
YOU MAY REMEMBER SEEING THESE
VIDEOS OF THESE PLANES AS THE
BUREAU'S CARLY HAYNES REPORTS.
THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW CLOSE OF
A CALL THEY HAD.
>> VIDEO SHOWS THE NEAR MISS
THAT WILL AIR FORCE B 52 BOMBER
AND A DELTA OPERATED SKYWEST
JET, MARJORIE AND DOMINIC
SANTORO WERE ON THAT FLIGHT.
WE WERE FLYING LIKE THIS THAT
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE FLYING
LIKE THIS A SMOOTH AND FRIENDLY
FLIGHT OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS
BECAME ALARMING. THE PILOT MADE
A QUICK TURN AS THE PLANE
DESCENDED INTO NORTH DAKOTA.
IF YOU LOOKED AT YOUR RIGHT,
WHEN DO YOU SEE GROUND, YOU
LOOK OUT THE LEFT SIDE WHERE
WE WORK AND YOU SEE AIR
PASSENGERS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT THE PILOT AVOIDED UNTIL
THE PLANE SAFELY LANDED ON.
>> IF YOU CAN SEE THE PILOT
AND HIS COPILOT WHEN WE WERE
GETTING OFF, THEY ARE SWEATING.
THEY LOOKED VERY, VERY
DISTRAUGHT.
>> AND OBVIOUSLY RELIEVE
SKYWEST, SAID AIR TRAFFIC
CONTROL HAD CLEARED THE PLANE
FOR LANDING. AND ACCORDING TO
THE AIR FORCE, THE TOWER ALSO
NEVER TOLD THE BOMBER ABOUT
THE DELTA FLIGHT DESPITE THE
NEAR MISS THE SANTORO SWOPE
BE DETERRED. THEY PLAN TO FLY
AGAIN, THOUGH, IN THE FUTURE
WILL KEEP THEIR FAMILY UPDATED
ON THEIR TRAVEL ITINERARY AND
BUCKLE YOUR SEAT THAT ARE GOING
TO SEE PROTESTS. TRUE.
