Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual report of an unusual but non-controversial aviation incident. There is no overt ideological framing, emphasis on political narratives, or selective sourcing. The focus remains on the technical and operational aspects of the event, with balanced reporting on the outcome

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 80): Factually accurate, aligning with CBS News report. Mentions the firework hitting the plane, number of passengers, and safety outcome. Slightly less detailed than CBS but remains objective. Uses neutral language.
