It was a moment that millions had been waiting for, and @Delta went all out.
The airline flew two sold-out path-of-totality flights from Texas to Detroit on Monday, and I was lucky to snag a window seat on one of them.
Here’s what it was like onboard.

🚨#BREAKING: Evacuations are underway at Nuclear Weapons Facility Amid Approaching fast Wildfires causing them to halt all operations
📌#CarsonCounty | #Texas
Currently, evacuations are underway at the Pantex nuclear weapons facility in Carson County, Texas, due to rapidly spreading wildfires in the area. The facility, located 21 miles east of Amarillo, holds nearly 20,000 plutonium cores and is actively producing the B61-12 bomb and W88 Alt370 warhead. As the plant is Responsible for assembling and disassembling America’s nuclear arsenal, the plant has halted all operations because the nearby fire is out of control. Focus has shifted entirely to evacuations, with a few non-essential personnel seeking shelter on-site – at Texas, USA

Just flew over the wildfires in the Texas Panhandle. Prayers for the town with fire on all sides!

Have reached out to both Alaska Airlines and Boeing on this. The aircraft involved was a brand new 737 Max 9 delivered to the airline at the end of October. This is an extremely hazardous and also rare occurrence.
According to this Reddit post, #ASA1282 from PDX to ONT tonight lost a window and unoccupied seat and experienced a rapid decompression after takeoff. The plane landed back at PDX safely. #avgeeks @AirlineFlyer @flightradar24
