A Delta Air Lines passenger jet crash-landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, flipping upside down and leaving at least eight people injured, local media reported.

The Endeavor Flight 4819, which had departed from Minneapolis, Minnesota, the United States, was attempting to land in Canada’s largest city when the incident occurred.

According to public broadcaster CBC, among the injured were three individuals in critical condition, including a child. All were transported to the hospital for treatment.

Images from the scene showed passengers stumbling away from the overturned aircraft, shielding their faces from strong winds. Toronto Pearson Airport confirmed the incident, stating, "Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for."

A passenger on the flight, John Nelson, shared a video on Facebook, writing, "Our plane crashed. It’s upside down. Most people appear to be okay. We’re all getting off."

Delta Air Lines acknowledged reports of the crash and assured that further details would be shared as they were confirmed. Canadian Transport Minister Anita Anand stated that 80 passengers were aboard the flight.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed relief that there were no casualties, while airport and local authorities continued to assist those affected.

The crash occurred amid harsh weather conditions, as a massive snowstorm swept through eastern Canada on Sunday. Strong winds and frigid temperatures persisted in Toronto on Monday, potentially contributing to the incident.

Repeat plane crashes

In late January, a US passenger plane carrying 64 people crashed into Washington DC's frigid Potomac River after colliding midair with a military helicopter during a nighttime training exercise, triggering a major emergency response and the grounding of all flights.

The aircraft was preparing to land at nearby Reagan National Airport following a flight from Kansas.

American Airlines, whose subsidiary operated the PSA America Airlines Flight 5342, confirmed that "there were 60 passengers and four crew members on board the aircraft."

A US Army official stated that the helicopter involved was a Black Hawk model carrying three soldiers, whose status remains unknown. A separate military spokesperson said they were conducting a "training flight" at the time of the incident.

Washington police reported that "there is no confirmed information on casualties at this time." However, a large-scale search and rescue operation was underway, with divers seen plunging into the snow-lined Potomac.
