Toronto crash: How did Delta Airlines plane flip over on runway? Plane With 80 Onboard Flips Over At Toronto Airport..
Passengers have described their amazement after most of them escaped unscathed from a plane that crash landed in Toronto on Monday afternoon.
The Delta flight skidded along the runway in flames before flipping over and coming to a dramatic halt upside down, losing its tail and an entire wing in the process. Some of the 80 people on board were then left hanging upside down while still strapped to their seats, before they scrambled over luggage to escape onto the snowy runway.
No deaths have been reported after the incident, which is under investigation. Analysts have suggested the harsh winter weather may be to blame, or that the plane may have hit something. They have also credited the plane's safety features with saving lives.
18 people injured:
At least 18 people were injured Monday when a Delta Air Lines plane overturned upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. There were no fatalities and the injuries were relatively minor, officials said Monday evening..
"We just landed. Our plane crashed. It's upside down," John Nelson, who recorded the video, said as he walked away from the plane. He said that "most people appear to be OK" and that passengers were getting off of the plane.
Toronto Pearson CEO Deborah Flint said that of those injured, none were in critical condition. Earlier Monday, Lawrence Saindon, a superintendent for Peel Regional Paramedic Services, said 12 people were taken by ground for medical attention. He said two others were were airlifted to a nearby trauma center.
One of those was reported to be a man in his 60s who was being taken to St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, according to Joshua McNamara, corporate communications lead with Toronto Air Ambulance. The other was a woman in her 40s, who was being taken to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto.
Saindon also said an ambulance took a child to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that Delta Air Lines Flight 4819, which was operated by Endeavor Air and was arriving from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, crashed on landing in Toronto around 2:15 p.m. Endeavor is a "wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines headquartered in Minneapolis," Delta said.
