Delta Air Lines flight 1076 landed safely at the airport around 8:30 p.m. after its pilot reported that a fireworks mortar struck the aircraft just before landing, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The flight departed from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Department of Aviation, and Chicago Police Department did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment. (RELATED: Airliner\u2019s Nose Gear \u2018Unexpectedly Retracts\u2019 At Airport, Injuring Multiple People)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plane was carrying 52 passengers and six crew members and no injuries were reported. The mechanics of the aircraft were inspected afterwards, and no damage was found according to a Delta spokesperson. The flight left Atlanta at 7:51 p.m. and landed in Chicago at 8:33 p.m. Air traffic control audio indicated that the crew onboard felt a \u201cbig bang\u201d according to CBS.<\/p>\n

The FAA said it will further investigate the incident. It is unclear where the fireworks were launched from or who is to be held responsible, Fox News Digital reported.<\/p>\n
