Delta Airlines' pilot makes ‘aggressive maneuver' to avoid collision with B-52 bomber in US
A Delta Airlines' regional jet reportedly made an 'aggressive maneuver' on approach to Minot, North Dakota in order to avoid a mid-air collision with a B-52 bomber, according to ABC News, citing a pilot. The flight was being operated by SkyWest which is investigating the matter. The alleged incident, where the Delta Airlines' jet almost had a collision with a B-52 bomber, took place on July 18. In the report published by ABC News on Sunday, the pilot apologised to passengers after a safe landing. The report quoted the recording of remarks by the pilot who wasn't identified. The Delta Airlines' plane, which had departed from Minneapolis, was heading to Minot, North Dakota which is known as the home of an Air Force base with B-52 bombers. 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.'

US Woman Gets Hundreds Of Amazon Parcels From China. She Never Ordered Them
A California woman's home turned into a dumping ground for Amazon packages after a Chinese seller listed her home as a return address. Despite never ordering any packages, she received hundreds of return parcels. The woman, Kay (name changed), was receiving massive cardboard boxes, most of them unopened, in such high volume that she had no choice but to stack them in her driveway, leaving no room to park her car, The New York Post reported. She said the situation created a nuisance, making it hard for her to help her 88-year-old mother enter the house. According to Amazon's policy, international vendors are required to either give a US address for the return, offer a "returnless refund" in which the buyer does not need to ship the item back, or provide a prepaid international shipping label within two days of the consumer requesting a return. Kay told ABC7 that the packages she received had a set of faux-leather seat covers sold by Liusandedian and listed on Amazon under the brand name Etkin. They claim their seat covers fit almost all types of cars, including SUVs and Sedans, but the majority of buyers say they didn't fit their vehicles. California woman has been receiving hundreds of Amazon packages that she never ordered for over a year now, says she is living through hell. The Bay Area woman says an Amazon Chinese seat cover seller listed her home as their return address. To make matters worse, the seat… — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) July 9, 2025 When they tried to return, they had to pay for shipping themselves, which was too expensive, sometimes more than half the product's price. Some even complained that they never received the refund, according to the same report. Kay contacted Amazon several times over the past year to fix the issue. She filed six complaints, but Amazon always procrastinated, saying the issue would be fixed soon. "Amazon promised that she won't get more packages and would hear back from them in 24 to 48 hours, but nothing changed," she said. Amazon gave her a $100 gift card, but the packages kept coming, Kay said. She claimed that Amazon asked her to return those packages via USPS or FedEx, but the e-commerce giant denied the claim, reported ABC7. The company said, "We'd like to thank [ABC 7] for bringing this to our attention. We've apologised to the customer and are working directly with her to pick up any packages while taking steps to permanently resolve this issue." The company has now removed all the packages from Kay's house, ABC7 reported.

Watch: Dramatic shelf cloud rolls through DC amid tornado and flood alerts
Heavy thunderstorms, accompanied by torrential rains, hit the DC region on Wednesday evening, flooding streets and uprooting trees. The storms brought dramatic shelf clouds as they moved in and out of the region. In Bowie, Maryland, a breathtaking video of an ominous shelf cloud emerged on social media. Shelf clouds, which often appear along the leading edge of thunderstorms, form when cool air rushes out from a storm and forces the warm, moist air ahead of it to rise, creating a distinctive, rolling cloud formation, The Washington Post reported. Sharing the video of the phenomenon, X user Collin Rugg wrote, 'Shelf cloud spotted moving through the D.C. region as flash flood, thunderstorm, and tornado warnings were in effect. The shelf cloud (video below) was spotted moving through Bowie, Maryland.'

'Something odd about how these are all happening at once randomly. Was this predicted?' a user wrote. 'It was creepy! Driving into the city as it was approaching! Thankful to have been INSIDE before the rains came! Got home and trees were down but not on my house! Thank you Jesus!' another user commented. 'DC has a lot of things, but what does not get praised enough are the weathernauts who are always on the lookout for random acts of astonishing nature! This is an incredible photograph. It is as if the clouds were a big blanket being pulled over the earth to tuck the people in for the night,' a third user reacted. Meanwhile, Texas flash floods killed over 150 people and dislocated several others. According to the BBC News, at least 87 of the victims, including 56 adults and 31 children, died in Kerr County, where the Guadalupe River was swollen by torrential rains on Friday, the July Fourth public holiday.
