A few days ago, a Delta flight headed for Toronto took the landing hard and ended up flipping over on the runway. It was scary, but -- fortunately -- everyone survived. CNN was quick to blame President Donald Trump (of course), but the CEO of Delta itself set the record straight on the issue, much to Gayle King's chagrin.
The flight itself was operated by Endeavor Air, a subsidiary of Delta, and Endeavor made a point of praising its 'unmanned' flights. In other words, those with all-women flight crews.
We don't know the demographics of the crew operating the flight (which sends up red flags for this writer), but X users dug up an old Endeavor Air post from 2022 and had some fun with it:
Endeavor Air (@EndeavorAir) ~ Buckle up ladies and gentlemen, your flight is unmanned today. #girlpower

Sam Wize (@SamWizen) ~ If you fly UNMANNED, you too can perform aerial acrobatics never before seen in history ... like the elusive plane flip ON THE RUNWAY. WOW!!!
You guys crack us up.
The pile-on got so bad they locked replies.
Kab (@soulofkab) ~ Landing a plane upside down and not killing anyone is actually kinda impressive when you think about it.
Fair point.
