Shocking Footage Shows Delta Flight Catching Fire and Flipping Over During Crash at Toronto Pearson Airport

TORONTO – Footage has emerged showing the terrifying crash of Delta Flight 4819, which flipped over at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday. The plane, struggling against harsh conditions with 40-mph winds and snow, burst into flames as it skidded on the snow-covered runway before tipping over and landing on its belly.

The dramatic footage shows massive orange flames erupting from the back of the plane, which quickly turned into thick black smoke as it skidded. The plane’s wing was torn off, and it ultimately flipped upside down. Miraculously, all 80 passengers and crew members were evacuated safely. Though 18 people were hospitalized, none sustained serious injuries.

The plane, a Bombardier CRJ-900LR, had just taken off from Minneapolis and was attempting to land after a winter storm had dumped nearly 9 inches of snow on the airport. Investigations are ongoing, but officials noted that the runway was dry and there were no crosswind conditions. Emergency crews responded quickly to the wreckage, extinguishing the flames while passengers scrambled to safety.

This incident marks the first major commercial passenger jet crash since January, and investigators are now working to determine the cause of the plane’s sudden and catastrophic flip.
