Delta Airlines aircraft crashes during landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport

A Delta Air Lines plane crashed and flipped over while attempting to land at Toronto Pearson Airport due to strong winds and snow. Despite the dramatic crash, all 80 people onboard were evacuated, with at least 18 people sustaining injuries. The crash landing comes after a recent incident involving an American Airlines jet in Washington. The plane, a CRJ-900 operated by Delta subsidiary Endeavor Air, crashed while landing due to the challenging weather conditions in Toronto. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop advisory at Pearson Airport, diverting flights to Ottawa and Montreal. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will lead the investigation into the crash. Delta has stated they are working to confirm details of the incident. The aircraft involved is approximately 16 years old and is part of a fleet of over 380 CRJ-900s worldwide. Recent aviation accidents, such as a helicopter collision near Washington and a small plane crash in Philadelphia, have raised concerns about air travel safety. The crash at Pearson Airport adds to the list of recent incidents, including a Delta flight experiencing technical issues and another plane clipping a parked aircraft in Seattle. Airport operations resumed after the crash, with no fatalities reported among the 80 passengers and crew.
