Delta Plane Crashes and Overturns While Landing at Toronto Airport
ai generated text
Multiple sources indicate that the plane was partially obscured by snow from a winter storm that hit Toronto, and upon landing, the plane flipped onto its back. Paramedic services reported that 15 people were injured, including a child, a man in his 60s, and a woman in her 40s.
I'm closely following the serious incident at the Pearson Airport involving Delta Airlines flight 4819 from Minneapolis.
We are very grateful there was no loss of life and relatively minor injuries.
On Thursday and Sunday, we got more than 20 inches (50 centimetres) of accumulated snow. That is actually not typical. In fact, it is more snow within that time window than we received in all of last winter.
The crew on Delta flight 4819 heroically led passengers to safety, evacuating a jet that had overturned on the runway on landing amid smoke and fire. I thank each and everyone of these heroes.
Delta Air Lines Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada around 2:45 p.m. local time.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation and being led by the Transportation Safety Board. It's not appropriate for us to comment at this time.
It is my understanding that most of the passengers are out and unharmed, but we're still trying to make sure, so we're still on scene investigating.
There is a plane crash. However, we don't know the circumstances surrounding it at this point.
Provincial officials are in contact with the airport and local authorities and will provide any help that's needed.
The hearts of the entire global Delta family are with those affected by today's incident at Toronto-Pearson International Airport.
I want to express my thanks to the many Delta and Endeavor team members and the first responders on site.
Initial reports were that there are no fatalities.
