A passenger plane overturned while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada on Monday, injuring at least 18 people, including children. Three of the injured are in critical condition, according to emergency services.
The cause of the incident remains unclear, but it is known that Toronto experienced heavy snowfall before the crash. However, the fire department reported that the airport runway was dry at the time.
Photos of the accident have been circulating on social media, showing the plane upside down on the snow-covered tarmac. A video taken after the incident shows passengers exiting the overturned plane.
“We just landed in Toronto. Our plane crashed, it flipped over,” said one passenger in the video, which also shows at least one broken wing on the plane.
Authorities confirmed that the Delta Airlines flight was traveling from Minneapolis to Toronto with 80 passengers and crew members on board. All were rescued alive after the crash, according to airline officials.
