Emergency crews are responding to a crash involving a Delta Air Lines plane that arrived Monday at Toronto Pearson Airport from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, ultimately landing upside down amid wintry conditions.
The FAA says all 80 people on board Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, were evacuated.
Peel Regional Paramedic Services confirmed to CBS News that 15 patients had been transported to the hospital. Out of those injuries, one child and two adults are critically injured. The rest of the injuries are minor to moderate, officials said.
All crew and passengers have been accounted for.

We should have a law dictating that airplanes shall not ever land upside down!
what? and ban all flights to australia?
Darn! We might need a midway switch of airplane orientation.
The plane landed right side up and then flipped over.
We should have a law that planes aren’t allowed to flip over.

Literally my go-to direction for when I need to use “evacuate”.
Hmm, looks like a smaller plane than the jumbo jets we’re all used to.
You must live in a big city and not fly a lot of places then… Flights from where I live are nearly always that size or smaller.
Seats 95 passengers.
I’m not a plane expert, but I think 737s fit more.
That’s the plane I was referring to.
737s are barely bigger than this and not jumbo jets, they are narrow bodies.
737s are also kind of funny to pick since they are kind of notoriously small (this was one of the causes for the max crashes, Boeing needed to lengthen the nose gear and move the engines significantly higher on the wing in order to fit them, a normal 737NG with CFM56 engines, the bottom of the engine is about 2 feet off the ground only).
CRJs are smaller, but they are still commercial jets that fit tons of people.
The joke didn’t land (pun intended,) but I think they were referring to all the 737 MAX issues that have completely ruined Boeing’s reputation

A 737 is notably not a 747
I’m glad everybody was ok, especially since the actual image of the fully-upside-down plane is so cool and I would feel bad enjoying it otherwise.
Three people critically injured ie. Not ok
Update: 19 of 21 people released from hospital; 2 remaining hospitalized passengers did not face life-threatening injuries.
Barrel roll!
Too soon?
How does a plane get infected with Minneapolis? We shoupd make sure this doesn’t spread like bird flu.
The fuck is going on with planes lately?
Fascist destruction of agencies.
They were asking about planes.
Yes but that doesn’t align with my agenda. Obviously agency changes last month in the US would cause a crash in Canada because uh… uh … Delta is an American company
It’s not clear to me who or what is directly responsible for this, but do you really think the American Agency for Making Sure Planes Don’t Crash isn’t involved when an American Plane Crashes… just because it happened somewhere else?
Did you reply to the right comment? Because I was obviously saying the crash was not caused, in any way, by recent changes in Trump’s administration
Removal of regulation and QA cause of profit
Rolled over like a puppy

Why in the ever loving fuck would you embed an auto playing video
Trump’s fault
The pilot:
I forgot how much I’m angry at George Lucas
Still better than Disney.
After seeing video from several different angles it looks like there was no landing flare. The plane drove straight into the runway. The CRJ tends to land “flatter” than many aircraft, but the mains and nose touch almost simultaneously even with the compression of the main strut. That’s not right at all. We’ll have to wait and see if there was a shear or something that caused a loss of airspeed where the pilots kept the nose down, or whether it was just a crew fuckup, new pilot in the aircraft, whatever.
Yeah, it looks like there was a slight roll just before touching down that put all the weight on one set of wheels. The wheels just seemed to collapse. Maybe it was the lack of flare or a structural failure on the landing gear? It definitely didn’t look like it flared at all.
The failure was because of the lack of arresting the sink rate with a flare. I sincerely doubt it was a structural issue inherent with the aircraft, but the investigation will reveal what happened. The NTSB and the Canadian TSB will sort it out.
This has not been a good year for aviation and we’re barely two months in
Don’t worry! I’m sure president Musk cutting staff at the understaffed FAA will reduce accidents!
