A dramatic scene unfolded at Toronto Pearson International Airport when Delta Air Lines Flight 4819 crashed and flipped upside down during an attempted landing. Miraculously, all 80 people on board survived, although at least 18 were injured and transported to the hospital.
The incident occurred on February 17, when the plane, which took off from Minneapolis, Minnesota, attempted to land at Pearson Airport. Deborah Flint, CEO of Toronto Pearson International Airport, expressed gratitude that there were no fatalities and only minor injuries.
Delta Air Lines released a statement on Twitter, confirming that there were no fatalities and that their primary focus was taking care of those impacted. As investigators work to determine the cause of the crash, passengers have taken to social media to share their harrowing experiences.

One passenger, Ashley Zook, posted a chilling video on Snapchat, showing the plane upside down moments after the crash. “My plane crashed. I’m upside down,” she can be heard saying, followed by an expletive. The footage provides a glimpse into the chaos and panic that ensued during the crash.
According to reports, three people suffered critical injuries, including a man in his 60s, a woman in her 40s, and a child. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with air travel, coming just a month after a devastating crash near Reagan National Airport in Washington claimed the lives of 67 people.
As the investigation into the Delta plane crash continues, our thoughts are with the passengers and crew who were on board, as well as their loved ones. The miraculous survival of all on board is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of safety measures in air travel.
