Shocking footage shows Delta Airlines flight flipped upside-down after crash landing in Toronto

A Delta Airlines has crash landed on Toronto

Emergency services are dealing with an 'incident' after a Delta Airlines plane crash landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

The airport has said in a statement: "Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis. Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for."

AFA-CWA, the association of flight attendants, wrote on Twitter: "Our union is responding to an incident in Toronto with Delta Air Lines Endeavor Flight 4819. AFA crew were working this flight. Reports are there are no fatalities. Please do not speculate on this incident as everyone works to gather information and support those involved."

Meanwhile, Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario said: "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."


Delta Flight 4819 took off from Minneapolis earlier today, and videos circulating online appear to show the aircraft flipped on its side on an extremely snowy runway.

Local media, including CP24, say at least eight people have been left injured as a result of the crash - though the severity of these injuries have not been confirmed.

80 people were apparently on the flight.

The Toronto area had nine inches of snow over the weekend, according to the New York Post, which forced officials to clear the runway on Sunday (February 16) for service on Monday (February 17).

It comes just a matter of weeks after an American Airlines commercial plane crashed in Washington DC.

The commercial airline plane was coming to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport on January 29 when it collided with a Black Hawk military helicopter.

All 64 passengers on the plane died along with the three people on the helicopter.

Both aircraft crashed into the Potomac River and a massive search got underway to check for survivors before it turned into a body recovery mission.

The American Airlines Flight 5342 recorder showed a difference in reported altitude readings between the plane and helicopter upon collision.

According to the NTSB, data recovered from the flight recorder inside the plane claimed it was cruising at about 325 feet, with a 25-foot margin of error on either side, despite air traffic control tower data suggesting the military helicopter was flying at an altitude of about 200 feet when it collided with the commercial plane.
