Delta pilot makes an "aggressive maneuver" to avoid colliding with a B-52 bomber above North Dakota

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 were going, but they were a lot faster than us, I felt it was the safest thing to do to turn behind it," the pilot said.

"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..."
