On Monday, a Delta Airlines jet was overturned at the Toronto Pierre Airport, which injured 18 people aboard the plane while challenging the weather conditions after the recent blizzard.
The DL-4819 flight, which was run by Endure Air, was connected to the Manipolis-St. Paul International Airport when it faced difficulties, causing the plane to return after landing.
Among the injured, three people, including a child, suffered severe injuries and were taken to a hospital. Later on Monday, the Delta said some of the injured had been released from medical care.
The plane, which is powered by the 16 -year -old Bombard Director GE Aerospace engines, was carrying 76 passengers and four crew members. After the accident, the video showed that at least one of the two wings was no longer connected to the plane.
Canadian officials said they would investigate the cause of the accident, which is not yet known.
Passenger John Nelson posted a video on Facebook, showing a water spraying fire engine on the plane that had a stomach upset over snow -covered editions.
Later, he told CNN that there was no indication of anything unusual before landing.
Nelson told the television network, “We hit the ground, and we were with it, and then we turned upside down.”
He said, “I merely succeeded in improper and various decline and pushing myself to the ground. And then some people were at a kind of execution and needed help, and others managed to get down. “”
The rough situation of the weather
Toronto Pearson Airport said in early Monday that it was dealing with strong winds and sharp temperatures when Airlines lost Saturday’s snowstorm after a snowstorm over 22 cm at the airport. Tried to catch flights.
Flug Trader 24 data showed that the Delta plane touched Toronto at 2:30 pm after a flight of 86 minutes and came to rest near the runway 23 and Runway 15.
The flight tracking website said “high -speed cross wind and blowing snow” was indicated in weather conditions at the time of the crash.

American aviation safety expert and pilot John Cox said the average is a cross -wind of an average of 19 knots (22 miles per hour) when it was landing, but he noted that it is on average, and the blows above And go down.
He said of the pilots, “It’s amazing, so they have to make adjustments at air speed, adjustment to vertical profile and adjustment to the background profile,” he added. “What do professional pilots do this It’s normal for it. “
Cox said investigators would try to find out why the right -wing was separated from the plane.
Michael J. McCaramak, Associate Professor of Air Traffic Management at Embry-Reddal Aeronautical University, said the upside-down position made Toronto Crash quite unique.
“But the fact is that 80 people have been saved from such an event is proof of engineering and technology, a regulatory background that goes to create a system where one can really avoid something that is long. It was already fatal. ” Said
The last three cases of plane crashing on the landing included MD -11 models of McDonal Douglas. In 2009, a freight car was transformed into a landing at Narita Airport in Tokyo, killing both pilots. In 1999, a China Airline flight was overturned in Hong Kong, killing three out of 315 people. In 1997, another freight carried out on the nephew with no deaths.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) said it was deploying a team of investigators, and the US National Transportation Safety Board said a team of investigators would help Canada’s TSB.
Global aviation standards require a preliminary investigation report within 30 days of an accident.
After other recent accidents in North America after an accident in Canada. An army helicopter in Washington DC collided with a CRJ -700 passenger jet, killing 67 people, when a medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia and 10 killed in a passenger plane crash in Alaska.
