Delta plane flips upside down during landing at Toronto Airport.
TORONTO, ONTARIO – Emergency crews are on the scene of an accident involving a Delta flight during a landing at the Toronto’s Pearson Airport Monday afternoon.
Video shows the plane upside down on the snowy runway without its wings and its tail sheared off. There appears to have been a fire onboard the plane.
Airport officials say all passengers and crew members on board the flight from Minneapolis are accounted for.
The Canadian Press reports that one passenger is critically injured and seven others were hurt.
The FAA says all runways are closed.
Delta said in a statement it was “aware of reports of Endeavor Flight 4819 operating from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Toronto-Pearson International Airport as involved in an incident.”
Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford said on X he is “relieved there are no casualties after the incident at Toronto Pearson.”
“Provincial officials are in contact with the airport and local authorities and will provide any help that’s needed,” Ford said.
Toronto is the capital of Ontario’s province.
It is at least the fourth major aviation mishap in North America in the past month.
A commercial jetliner and an Army helicopter collided near the nation’s capital on Jan. 29, killing 67 people.
A medical transportation plane crashed in Philadelphia on Jan. 31, killing the six people on board and another person on the ground and 10 were killed in a plane crash in Alaska.
