Passengers Recall Harrowing Moments After Delta Flight Crash at Toronto Airport

Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis flips during landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, leaving passengers shaken but mostly unhurt.


In a shocking incident, a Delta Air Lines flight flipped over while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, resulting in 18 injuries but all aboard survived. Witnesses describe the chaotic moments post-crash, as emergency crews responded to help the stranded passengers.


A Delta Air Lines flight carrying 80 people from Minneapolis faced a terrifying ordeal as it crashed and flipped upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. John Nelson, a passenger, captured the frightening moment, expressing disbelief with his words, "Our plane crashed. It's upside down." Thankfully, the airport's chief executive confirmed that all passengers and crew members survived, though 18 individuals suffered injuries, with three sustaining serious but non-critical harm.

In the aftermath of the incident, Nelson recounted the surreal experience of the airplane skidding and eventually flipping over to rest on its back. "There was a big fire ball out the left side of the plane," he described, emphasizing how passengers were left suspended upside down in their seats. Fellow traveler Peter Koukov echoed the sentiment, recalling how they felt like "bats" hanging in the cabin.

Amid panic, Nelson successfully freed himself from his seat, noting that while some fellow passengers managed to extricate themselves, others required assistance. Social media footage vividly illustrated the scene as firefighters used foam to combat potential flames, while airport staff aided passengers in climbing out of the overturned aircraft.

Miraculously, despite the dramatic flip, some passengers at the airport were oblivious to the incident, including Diane Perry, who discovered the situation only when her family informed her while she was in line to check her luggage.

Authorities are actively investigating the cause of the crash, resulting in the closure of two runways for several days, with travelers advised of possible delays. "It's amazing that we're still here," Nelson stated, still processing the terrifying experience that just unfolded.
