Only 1 passenger from crashed Delta flight remains in hospital. Minnesota lawmaker wants to remove Algebra II as required math credit. 

Delta Air Lines says all but one passenger injured when a flight from Minneapolis crashed while landing in Toronto on Monday has been released from the hospital. All 76 passengers and four crew survived after the plane burst into flames and flipped over on the runway. Investigators are still working to determine what caused the crash.

State lawmakers are considering legislation that would remove Algebra II as a required math credit. Sen. Rob Farnsworth, R-Hibbing, presented his bill Wednesday. Currently, Minnesota students need to take three math classes for graduation.

Minnesota Rep. Pete Stauber is ruling out runs for governor and Senate in 2026. The Republican representing Minnesota’s 8th District told Northern News Now he plans to stay put. He said he wants to remain in his role as chair of the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee.
