Delta jet crashes at Canada's Toronto Pearson Airport; crews responding to plane flipped upside down
A Delta Air Lines plane crashed at Toronto Pearson Airport on Monday afternoon, injuring numerous passengers flying from the U.S. The plane crash, which involved a Delta Air Lines CRJ-900 jet that had departed from Minneapolis, was first reported by CTV. The flight was identified as Delta 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, and carried 80 people. The incident was reported at 2:45 p.m. local time. Pictures of the scene show the plane upside down and mangled on a snow-covered runway. 15 people were treated for injuries – three of them transported to hospital – following the crash. Plane Crashes Spark Renewed Fear Of Flying: 10 Causes Of Aviation Disasters Two patients were taken by air ambulance to two different trauma centers – Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center and St. Michael's Hospital – in Toronto, according to a spokesperson for the paramedic service that was on scene. Read On The Fox News App A child, about four years old, was transported to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. "Those three were critical, non-life-threatening injuries," Peel Regional Paramedic Services Superintendent Lawrence Saindon told Fox News Digital. "The remaining ones are all walking wounded, with cuts and scrapes, nothing serious at all." Toronto Pearson Airport operations paused shortly following the crash, but departures and arrivals resumed by around 5 p.m. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a statement on Monday stating that the crash took place while the aircraft was landing. All passengers and crew were immediately evacuated. Harrowing Video From Military Base Shows New Angle Of Midair Crash Catastrophe "The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will be in charge of the investigation and will provide any updates," the FAA noted. Toronto Pearson confirmed the crash on X, and said that all the plane's passengers and crew "are accounted for." "Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Air Lines plane arriving from Minneapolis," the airport's post read. "Emergency teams are responding." Air traffic control sounds from the incident indicate that winds at the airport were roughly 20-30 mph, with gusts near 40 mph. A helicopter pilot who witnessed the crash said that the plane was "upside down and burning," according to the audio. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a social media post that he was aware of the incident. "FAA investigators are en route to Toronto," Duffy wrote. "I've been in touch with my counterpart in Canada to offer assistance and help with the investigation." Monday's crash comes amid a turbulent season for air travel. In late January, 67 people died near Washington, D.C. when a military Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines-affiliated commercial flight from Kansas. Recent plane crashes have not been limited to North America either. A crash involving a Jeju Air flight in South Korea killed 179 people when the aircraft crashed into an airport's concrete barrier and burst into flames. An Azerbaijan Airlines plane also crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas, killing 38 people and injuring 29. Fox News Digital reached out to Delta for additional information.
