At least 18 people, including a child, were injured when a Delta Air Lines plane crashed at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The incident involved a Bombardier CRJ900 flight arriving from the United States. Emergency services, including Ornge air ambulance, responded to the scene. One paediatric patient and two other individuals with critical injuries were transported to various hospitals. Delta confirmed that all 80 passengers on board the flight were accounted for and there were no fatalities. Flights at the airport were delayed or cancelled following the crash, but operations resumed later in the day. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
The damaged plane’s landing gear suggested that the pilot may have lost control due to high gusting winds, snow, or ice on the runway. The Transportation Board of Canada will conduct a thorough investigation into the incident. The airline assured that their primary focus is on taking care of those impacted by the crash. The incident has shocked passengers and aviation authorities, prompting concerns about flight safety and weather conditions. Authorities are working to ensure the well-being of the injured and to determine the cause of the crash to prevent future incidents.
