Smoke was observed billowing from the fuselage of the Delta commercial jet, indicating a serious malfunction. The exterior of the aircraft showed signs of burning, and it appeared that both the wings and tail had sustained significant damage. This alarming situation raised questions about the condition of the aircraft and the measures in place to ensure aviation safety.
The airport confirmed that the incident took place on Monday at approximately 2:15 PM ET when a Delta flight arriving from Minneapolis was in the process of landing. The timing of the incident coincided with challenging weather conditions, which may have played a crucial role in the aircraft’s mishap.
In the aftermath of the incident, the airport was actively working to clear ice and snow from the runway following a weekend storm that had deposited over 8 inches of snow. The challenging weather conditions likely contributed to the accident, prompting discussions about the adequacy of aircraft de-icing procedures and runway safety measures.
Fortunately, Toronto Pearson International Airport has confirmed that ?all passengers and crew are accounted for.? Delta Airlines reported that the flight was carrying a total of 80 individuals, comprising 76 passengers and 4 crew members. However, the airline later updated that at least 18 passengers had sustained injuries, raising concerns about their wellbeing and the effectiveness of emergency response protocols. The flipped aircraft was the only one involved in this incident, as confirmed by the airline.
Images from the scene depict passengers being evacuated from the overturned aircraft, making their way out of the cabin through an emergency exit. These dramatic visuals underscore the urgency of the situation and the need for swift action taken by emergency services to ensure the safety of everyone on board.
