Breaking: Delta Airlines CRJ900 crashes at Toronto Pearson airport, several injured

According to local media, several individuals have suffered injuries following an aircraft incident at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada on Monday.

Paramedics, as reported by CP24, indicated that as many as eight individuals were hurt, while noting that the severity of the injuries remains unclear.

A Delta Air Lines flight experienced a crash landing and flipped over at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday — with images capturing the damaged aircraft smoldering on the snowy runway as bewildered passengers hurriedly evacuated.

Flight records indicate that the aircraft was Delta Flight 4819, which departed from Minneapolis around 11:47 a.m. The incident occurred just prior to 3 p.m.

In photos and videos shared on social media, the overturned jet appeared to be extensively damaged, with one wing significantly crumpled and the tail section partially torn off.

It was not immediately confirmed whether there were any fatalities on board, but shortly after the incident, Toronto Pearson posted on X that “all passengers and crew members were accounted for.”

Airport personnel informed CTV News that all arrivals and departures at the airport had been suspended following the crash.

A dramatic video shared on Facebook by a passenger depicts firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency responders urgently traversing the snow-covered runway towards the overturned aircraft.

Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario told Reuters, “I understand that most of the passengers are safe and out, but we are still verifying that, so we remain on the scene investigating.”

The Association of Flight Attendants union confirmed in a post on X that there were “no fatalities” associated with the incident.

The aircraft involved is a Bombardier CRJ-900LR, which has a seating capacity for up to 88 passengers and four crew members, as per flight records.

The crash occurred after a winter storm over the weekend that dropped nearly nine inches of snow on the airport, necessitating overnight efforts by crews to clear essential runways.

This marks the first significant incident involving a commercial passenger jet since the tragic January 29 crash involving an Army Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines flight 5342 at Ronald Reagan National Airport, resulting in the death of 67 passengers and crew.

Delta Air Lines has not yet responded to The Post’s request for a statement.
