A Delta Airlines Flight 4819 crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17 left the aircraft flipped upside down. The plane, which departed from Minneapolis, attempted to land around 3:30 PM ET amid strong winds. All 80 onboard—76 passengers and four crew members—were safely evacuated, though at least 18 people sustained injuries, with three critically hurt.

Passengers shared footage of the aftermath, while Delta confirmed there were no fatalities and prioritized assisting those affected.
