Airliner Crash-Lands in Toronto - Yazata - Feb 17, 2025 A CRJ-900 airliner operated by Endeavor Air for Delta Airlines, flying from Minneapolis to Toronto, tried to land at Toronto Pearson International Airport in severe crosswind. It appears that a wing hit the runway, the wing tore off and the plane ended up flipped on its back! They are lucky there was no fire and the cabin remained intact as it skidded. Thankfully everyone aboard appears to have survived, although eight injuries are reported and three passengers (one a small child that may not have had a seat belt) are said to be critically injured. It must have been exciting, with everyone hanging upside down by their seat belts! The flight attendants deserve praise for keeping it together and evacuating the plane. Canada's Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation. https://x.com/rawsalerts/status/1891580928855769529 RE: Airliner Crash-Lands in Toronto - Magical Realist - Feb 17, 2025 "Keeping your seats in the upright and locked position" suddenly becomes impossible!
