**Toronto, Canada –** A Delta Air Lines regional jet flipped upside down upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, injuring 18 of the 80 people on board. The incident occurred amid high winds and frigid temperatures following a weekend snowstorm.
The CRJ900 aircraft, operated by Delta’s Endeavor Air subsidiary, originated in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Three passengers, including a child, sustained critical injuries. Other passengers reported a sudden sideways movement followed by an inversion upon landing. One passenger described being able to unbuckle and escape, while others required assistance. A video posted on social media showed the plane lying belly-up on the snow-covered tarmac.
The airport was temporarily shut down, causing significant delays and diversions to other airports. Investigations into the cause of the accident are underway, involving both Canadian and U.S. authorities, as well as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the current owner of the CRJ aircraft program. While the exact cause remains unknown, experts have noted the remarkable survival rate given the plane’s position. Airport officials expressed gratitude for the lack of fatalities and credited first responders’ swift actions. The airport anticipates operational impacts and delays in the coming days.
