New video footage surfaced on Tuesday morning showing the moment a Delta Air Lines flight crashed on the tarmac of Toronto Pearson International Airport.
On Monday, the inbound CRJ-900 flight from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) flipped over after the right rear landing gear on the passenger plane appeared to give out as the aircraft touched down.
With the landing gear snapped off, the plane’s right wing hit the ground and was torn off, causing the plane to roll and turn upside down.

Twenty-one of the 80 people on board the regional jet — 76 passengers and four crew members — were transported to hospitals after the accident, nineteen of whom have since been released. The flight was operated by Delta subsidiary Endeavor Air.
“Our most pressing priority remains taking care of all customers and Endeavor crew members who were involved,” said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. “We’ll do everything we can to support them and their families in the days ahead, and I know the hearts, thoughts and prayers of the entire Delta community are with them. We are grateful for all the first responders and medical teams who have been caring for them.”
Passenger Pete Koukov told The New York Times that nothing seemed off during the flight and that all the problems occurred the moment “the wheels hit the ground.”
“The next thing I know, we’re sideways,” he said. “I unbuckled pretty fast and kind of lowered myself to the floor, which was the ceiling. People were panicking.”
The plane had to contend with wind gusts of up to 40 miles per hour and drifting snow upon landing, although there is no indication that weather factors were the cause of the accident.
The Federal Aviation Administration said that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada will be in charge of the investigation and will provide any updates.
