Delta Plane's High-Speed Descent Leads to Landing Flip in Toronto

Preliminary investigation reveals alarming details about Delta's aircraft crash incident, highlighting safety concerns.


A recently released report sheds light on the Delta Air Lines plane crash in Toronto, revealing critical factors behind the jet's rapid descent and subsequent flip on landing.

On March 20, 2025, a preliminary report by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada detailed the events leading to the incident involving a Delta Air Lines passenger jet, which carried 80 individuals. The report indicates that the aircraft was descending at an alarming rate of 1,100 feet per minute, nearly double the 600 feet per minute threshold that defines a "hard landing" according to Endeavor Air's operational guidelines. A warning alerting the crew to the rapid descent activated moments before touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft's main landing gear broke on the right side, prompting it to roll over and glide off the runway. The right wing tragically detached, resulting in a fiery explosion as the jet came to rest upside down. Jeff Guzzetti, a seasoned aviation accident investigator, commented that the descent velocity likely exceeded the structural limits of the landing gear.

Remarkably, all 80 passengers and crew aboard managed to evacuate without injury. However, the incident raises significant questions regarding safety protocols and aircraft handling during descent phases. Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding this dramatic event as they work to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
