In a shocking turn of events, Delta Flight 4819, en route from Minneapolis to Toronto, crash-landed on Monday afternoon, resulting in all 80 passengers emerging from the plane alive, despite its destruction. The Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft began its landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport under adverse weather conditions, with the plane losing control just moments after touching down.
Witnesses described a terrifying scene as the jet skidded along the runway and flipped over, leaving passengers upside down in their seats as flames engulfed the fuselage. "The second that the wheels hit the ground, then everything happened," recounted passenger Pete Koukov.
Thanks to timely actions by flight attendants and fellow passengers, individuals were evacuated through emergency exits onto the snowy runway. A total of 18 people suffered injuries, with one adult and one child critically injured but expected to make a full recovery. Many of the injured were treated and released from local hospitals by nightfall.
The crash landing occurred at around 2:15 PM Eastern Time, coinciding with strong wind gusts and drifting snow that complicated the approach to landing. Investigators will examine the circumstances surrounding the crash to determine what led to the aircraft losing control. Thankfully, quick thinking and cooperation among those aboard prevented a potential tragedy, making this incident a miraculous survival story.
