(VitalNews.org) – In a harrowing incident, a Delta Air Lines jetliner flipped upside down after crash-landing at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.
Watch the newly released shocking video down below.
The dramatic event has raised serious questions about airline safety and the adequacy of weather-related protocols.
Delta Flight 4819, carrying 76 passengers and four crew members, originated from Minneapolis and faced severe weather conditions upon its approach to Toronto.
Despite the challenging circumstances, including blowing snow and wind gusts reaching 40 mph, the decision was made to attempt a landing.
This choice has come under scrutiny, with experts questioning whether proper safety measures were followed.
In a twist that defies explanation, the fire chief contradicted initial reports of high winds. The chief stated the runway was dry with no cross-wind.
Miraculously, the incident resulted in zero deaths. Still, 18 passengers were taken to hospitals, with three individuals suffering critical injuries.
Among those critically injured is a child, adding a particularly heart-wrenching dimension to this already distressing event.
“There was no loss of life, and this is in due part to our heroic and trained professionals, our first responders at the airport,” Toronto Pearson President and CEO Deborah Flint stated.
“We are very grateful that there was no loss of life and relatively minor injuries,” she added. “We are very focused on the care and the concern and the passengers and the crew — some of whom have already been reunified with their friends and their families.”
The crash is part of a disturbing trend of recent aviation accidents in North America, fueling growing concerns over flight safety.
As the Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigates, many are left wondering if the skies are becoming less safe.
The agency stated that it was “deploying a team of investigators following an accident involving an aircraft operated by Delta Airlines…at the Toronto / Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Ontario. The TSB will gather information and assess the occurrence.”
As investigations unfold, concerned citizens demand full transparency and accountability.
The flying public deserves to know the truth about what led to this near-tragedy and what steps will be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.
