In a shocking turn of events on Monday, a Delta Air Lines flight flipped upside down while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. 🌨️✈️
Amid windy conditions following a snowstorm, 18 out of the 80 passengers and crew onboard were injured. Three individuals, including a child, sustained critical injuries and were rushed to local hospitals. 🚑
Delta confirmed that the incident involved a CRJ900 aircraft operated by its Endeavor Air subsidiary. The Bombardier-made plane, which typically seats up to 90 people, was en route from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport when the mishap occurred.
\"Initial reports indicate there are no fatalities and 18 customers with injuries have been transported to area hospitals,\" Delta stated on X (formerly Twitter).
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the accident, but windy weather after the snowstorm is currently believed to be a contributing factor. ❄️💨
