Delta Flight Crash at Toronto Airport Injures 21, Investigation Underway

A preliminary report from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada indicates that a Delta Air Lines flight experienced a high rate of descent just before a crash landing at Toronto Pearson Airport on February 17. The aircraft's ground proximity warning system alerted the crew 2.6 seconds prior to touchdown, as the plane descended at 1,098 feet per minute. Upon landing, the right main landing gear failed, leading to the plane flipping over and catching fire, though all 76 passengers and four crew members survived. Investigators are currently examining the pilots' actions, landing techniques, and the aircraft's structural integrity, especially the landing gear and wing. The report highlights that strong winds were present during the landing, which may have contributed to the incident. Lawsuits have been filed by some passengers against Delta Air Lines for the crash, which resulted in 21 injuries but no fatalities.
