A Delta flight from Minneapolis crashed at Toronto Pearson just now

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a passenger jet rolled over with the wings completely ripped off before, that is absolutely terrifying.  I sincerely hope the passengers are ok.

Jeez, what a shitty year for aviation, and we are only in February…

I am at Pearson. All flights are halted at this time. Reportedly 8 passengers injured but no deaths. No other details at this time. Was a Delta flight from Minneapolis with ~80 passengers.

Edit: they are now reporting three critical injuries – a pediatric patient, woman in her 40s, and man in his 60s were airlifted to hospital.

I gotta think that’s a runway excursion but somehow snapped off a wing and wound up upside down? It has to have happened at low speeds or else it would be much worse

I wonder how long it’ll take before DEI practices get blamed.

Canada needs to start banning flights from these lesser countries without proper safety protocols in place. It’s a danger to have them in our airports.

>The FAA says all 80 people on board Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, were evacuated. CBS News has confirmed that there are injuries. Some have been transported to hospital, though it’s unclear how many were injured or hospitalized, and the nature of the injuries are unknown.

>The FAA says the investigation will be led by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

Can’t park there

What’s that saying .. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one?

My trip started before Trump was president and I flew back this past weekend. Needless to say watching the news from abroad I was terrified to fly back.

Plane is tired, plane wants to sleep.

Omgosh!!! Pls hope the passengers and flight crew are ok

Trump promised more plane crashes
“Promise stated, promise granted”

If you want people to stay in your country to continue making babies for your workforce, you instill the literal fear of death in them to get on an airplane while angering the two bordering countries to the point that they ban American entry.

Anybody else asks themselves what the hell is up with all these airplane accidents recenlty? it’s almost like there’s a plane crash or incident almost every day since the new year began.

Im going to go ahead and sail back to Europe this spring.

Good reminder to always dress for the coldest weather you’re experiencing while flying. I say this as an Alaskan who flies direct to Hawaii. It sucks wearing jackets, long pants, closed-toed shoes, but when emergencies happen, you’re usually left in the weather.

My aviation best guess: Pilot experienced sudden or stronger crosswinds upon landing attempt and touched down one of the gears at angle or unevenly (likely right side based on wing bend) causing gear collapse/failure on that side and planes nose to tip that side as wing snapped off. The result at higher speed would be the plane flipping upright as tail and other wing both break and slow the speed of the vehicle via friction.

An otherwise better and safer landing than S. Korea recently

I live a few miles from the airport. It’s pretty windy right now with gusts up to 45KPH – 25MPH

Is America great again yet?

Welp, after all the recent crashes, I guess I’m never flying again 😬
