Questions emerge about what caused Delta plane to burst into flames and flip over in Toronto
One passenger told us, quote, It's amazing that we're still here, and you can see why the images are just startling. Luckily all aboard had been taken to safety, some already reunited with friends and family, according to the airport's CEO, who credits that to *** rapid response on behalf of their emergency crews. We just landed Our plane crashed. *** packed Delta Airplane crash landed at Toronto's Pearson Airport Monday afternoon, ending without wings, *** tail upside down and on fire. It is extraordinary that everybody got out of that plane alive. At least 18 people were injured, according to the airport's CEO, but miraculously. No casualties on the flight from Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is in due part to our heroic and trained professionals, our first responders. All 80 passengers were evacuated from Delta's Bombardier CRJ 900. That's 76 passengers and 4 crew members. From my perspective as an FAA regulator, so many things went right. While investigators work to figure out why. crash occurred, analysts say the plane's safety features likely had something to do with survival. The 16 seats which were put into the aircraft many years ago, prevented the seats from coming apart during this accident, which made it survivable. The other thing that made it survivable was that the breakaway bolts in the wings, once the aircraft starts rolling like that, if these wings don't break off, it tears that. Fuselage in half and causes fatalities. Strong winds blew through Toronto all day. The airport posting on X early Monday morning. The snow has stopped coming down, but frigid temperatures and high winds are moving in. There were gusts upwards of 40 miles an hour. It could easily have clipped the wing tip and catapulted down the runway. Now this latest crash comes less than 3 weeks after an American Airlines plane and *** US Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair near Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport. Delta Airlines meanwhile posted *** statement on their website indicating the company is aware of this incident and are working to confirm any details. Reporting in Los Angeles, I'm Maribel Gonzalez.

Crash investigation

Communications between the tower and pilot were normal on approach and it바카라 게임 웹사이트s not clear what went wrong when the plane 바카라 게임 웹사이트 a Mitsubishi CRJ-900 made by the Canadian company Bombardier 바카라 게임 웹사이트 touched down.

Aviation experts said investigators will consider conditions on the ground, the pilot's actions before landing, and potential problems with the landing gear. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is leading the investigation with support from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.

That everyone survived the Delta crash is a testament to the safety improvements made by airlines and aircraft manufacturers, including wings that are designed to come off to reduce explosions, well-trained flight crews and seats built to withstand impacts of up to 16 times the force of gravity.
