Rare Stradivarius Violin Sells for $11.3 Million at New York Auction

Delta Airlines is gaining widespread acclaim on social media after a heartwarming story emerged about a woman, Hannah White, who was given an extra day to say goodbye to her dying mother thanks to the airline’s staff. Hannah's mother, Kathleen Nelson, was critically ill with pneumonia and septic shock when Hannah had to rush from Dallas, Texas, to North Dakota.
On her way, Hannah's flight was delayed by mechanical issues, causing significant concern that she would miss her connecting flight in Minneapolis. Upon realizing the gravity of the situation, a flight attendant informed her that she would be rebooked for a flight the next day. Overwhelmed with emotion, Hannah feared she wouldn't make it in time to see her mother one last time.
Captain Keith Napolitano, recognizing the urgency, contacted the Minneapolis flight crew and successfully requested that they hold the plane for Hannah. Delta staff took additional measures to expedite her travel; they upgraded her seat for quicker deboarding and instructed both crews to prioritize Hannah’s transfer.
Thanks to the efforts of Delta's employees and fellow passengers, Hannah arrived in Minneapolis just in time to spend precious moments with her mother before she passed away the following day. In her emotional video recounting the experience, Hannah expressed immense gratitude for the airline's kindness, which afforded her 24 more hours with her mother.
The story quickly went viral, with many internet users praising Delta Airlines for their compassionate response, highlighting a rare act of humanity in an industry often criticized for its service.
