Toronto Pearson Airport suffers Delta plane crash, flips upside down, according to reports

A tragic incident occurred at Toronto Pearson Airport on Monday afternoon when a Delta Air Lines CRJ-900 jet crashed while landing, injuring passengers flying from the U.S. The plane had departed from Minneapolis and was carrying 80 people at the time of the crash. The Peel Regional Police reported that there were 8 injuries, with one being critical and the others ranging from mild to moderate.

Images from the scene showed the plane upside-down and badly damaged on a snow-covered runway. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to assist the injured passengers and crew members. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that the flight was operated by Endeavor Air and that all passengers were safely evacuated after the crash.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has launched an investigation into the incident to determine the cause of the crash. Toronto Pearson Airport released a statement acknowledging the crash and stating that all passengers and crew members were “accounted for.” The FAA also mentioned that the aircraft crashed during landing, but the exact circumstances leading to the crash are still under investigation.

This tragic event comes during a turbulent period for air travel, with recent crashes involving a military Black Hawk helicopter colliding with a commercial flight near Washington, D.C., as well as a Jeju Air flight in South Korea and an Azerbaijan Airlines plane in Kazakhstan. These incidents have highlighted the importance of aviation safety and the need for thorough investigations into air accidents.

As the investigation into the Toronto Pearson Airport crash continues, authorities are working to gather more information about what caused the plane to crash. Updates on the situation will be provided as they become available. Fox News Digital reached out to Delta for additional comments on the incident.
