Delta Airlines Plane Crash-Lands in Toronto; 15 Injured

A Delta Airlines flight carrying 80 people, including four crew members, crash-landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, flipping upside down upon landing. The incident, which was captured on video, shows the aircraft skidding on a snow-covered runway before black smoke billows from the fuselage.

The aircraft, identified as an Endeavor Air flight from Minneapolis, US, landed hours after a massive snowstorm, but the exact cause of the crash remains unknown.

 

 

Emergency Response & Passenger Safety

At least 15 passengers, including a child, were injured and were immediately transported to nearby hospitals.

Fire crews responded swiftly, using water to douse the smoke, while passengers were safely evacuated.
