Delta Jet Crash-Lands, Catches Fire in Toronto

News summary

A Delta Air Lines jet from Minneapolis crash-landed at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, flipping upside down after a hard landing that sheared off its right wing and caused it to burst into flames. Remarkably, all 80 passengers survived the incident, though 21 were injured, with only two remaining hospitalized. Investigators are considering severe weather conditions, pilot error, or mechanical failure as possible causes of the crash. Video evidence shows the plane landing hard, leading to the collapse of the right main landing gear and subsequent rollover. Aviation experts highlight that the wing's design to detach in such scenarios helped prevent a more catastrophic fire. The crash is the fourth major aviation accident in North America recently, prompting thorough investigations by authorities, including the NTSB, to determine the exact cause.
