On Monday afternoon, a Delta flight from Minneapolis crash-landed at Toronto Pearson Airport, causing a chaotic scene but miraculously resulting in no fatalities. The aircraft, carrying 80 passengers and crew, encountered strong winds and snowy conditions as it attempted to land. The plane hit the runway hard, causing the rear landing gear to buckle and the right wing to shear away in a fireball. The fuselage rolled over, leaving passengers suspended in their seats.

Despite the violent crash, all passengers survived, with 21 individuals sustaining injuries. Emergency crews quickly responded to extinguish the flames engulfing the overturned jet. The incident temporarily halted airport operations and raised concerns about flight safety in North America.
