Source: Delta Air Lines flight upside-down after crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport
Three passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight including a child were critically injured when the plane crash-landed and flipped upside-down at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday.
Flight records identify the craft as Delta Flight 4819, which took off from Minneapolis about 11:47 a.m. The crash happened just before 3 p.m. Images show the mangled airliner smoldering on the snowy runway as dazed passengers scrambled out.
The belly-up jet looked badly damaged in photos and video circulating on social media, with one wing severely crumpled and the tail section partially sheared off.
At least eight people have been reported injured so far, according to CP24 News.
Paramedics told the BBC it transported the three gravely injured passengers to three different hospitals, including a “pediatric patient” and a man in his 60s.
The injured child’s age was not immediately clear, nor was the age of the other adult passenger rushed to the hospital.
It was not immediately clear whether there were any fatalities on board, but Toronto Pearson posted on X soon after the crash that “all passengers and crew members were accounted for.”
