Multiple people were reportedly injured after a Delta Air Lines plane overturned during a crash-landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport today (February 17).
Delta Flight 4819, a Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR, had departed from Minneapolis at 11:47 am before the accident occurred at around 2:45 pm.
Emergency crews quickly responded to the scene, confirming that all 80 passengers and crew members had been accounted for.
However, at least eight people were reported injured, with the gravity of their injuries remaining unclear.

“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,” Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario told Reuters.

According to ABC News, the Toronto Airport will remain closed until “at least 4:30 pm.”

This incident follows two recent aviation tragedies in the US—a crash involving an American Airlines jet and a Black Hawk helicopter on January 29, and another involving a medical jet in Pennsylvania just days later.
Together, these incidents have spurred renewed scrutiny of industry safety standards, although the Delta flight at Toronto Pearson appears to involve a distinct set of circumstances.
