A flight operated by Delta's subsidiary Endeavor Air crash landed while attempting to land at Toronto Pearson Airport, resulting in the airplane coming to rest upside down on the snowy tarmac. The incident, which occurred around 2.45pm local time, left 18 people injured, with two passengers in critical condition airlifted to a trauma center and a child receiving medical attention in a downtown hospital.
Video footage from the scene captured the unusual sight of the upturned aircraft, with passengers being assisted by cabin crew in evacuating the plane as firefighters worked to contain the situation. Despite the unsettling visuals and the chaotic environment created by a massive snowstorm and strong winds, officials confirmed that all 80 people on board were safely evacuated.
Local authorities and transportation officials quickly responded to the crash, pausing airport departures and arrivals for a short period until operations resumed a couple of hours later. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has deployed a team to investigate the accident, which comes on the heels of recent fatal plane crashes in the United States, adding to the urgency of understanding the cause of this unfortunate event.
