At least 15 injured after Delta plane from Minneapolis crashes in Toronto

A Delta Air Lines flight that left from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport crashed while landing in Toronto on Monday, leaving at least 15 injured, Canadian authorities say.

Peel Regional Paramedic Services, whose jurisdiction includes Pearson Airport, confirmed to ABC News 15 people, including a child, were transported to local hospitals as a result of the crash. Two of those patients were taken to trauma centers. No deaths were reported.

I’m starting to feel afraid to fly.

I hear you, sister.

Unfortunately I have to fly from NYC to Florida every other month, taking turns with my sister, because our parents are in bad shape.

This series of plane crashes and accidents is really unnerving. Each crash or accident has been unique, so it really does make us wonder what variation of accident can happen next.

I do know that it’s true that aviation is typically very safe, that there are thousands and thousands of flights taking and off and landing safely even as we speak, but it’s just been too many in such a short space of time.

I’m surprised as well that the runway was so snowy. Thank God they were able to put out the fire.

Prayers that the injured will improve. Thankful for no deaths as yet.

Wow. Can't say I've ever seen a plane that landed upside down before!
Hoping everyone survived.

I was thinking the Sioux City crash landed on its back. I looked it up and it was Flight 232 in 1989. In that crash, the plane was on its back but torn apart. Today’s crash in Toronto is miraculous, insofar as everyone survived and the plane remained intact.

edit: Sioux City not Falls

I have 3 flight round trips scheduled this year, so far. One is to Florida next week. It really is unnerving. Prayers up for all of us.

Having to get out of the seats while upside down, suspended from the ceiling by only your seatbelt.

I'm thinking how difficult it must have been to unbuckle oneself if one's body weight is pushing against the belt. Or at that point are you able to somehow crawl out of it? And then the fear of not knowing exactly what happened ... were we hit by another plane? Did we fly into a building or the wall at the end of the runway? Thankful not a fatal.

Two patients were taken by air ambulance to two different trauma centers – Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center and St. Michael’s Hospital – in Toronto, according to a spokesperson for the paramedic service that was on scene.

A child, about four years old, was transported to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

"Those three were critical, non-life-threatening injuries," Peel Regional Paramedic Services Superintendent Lawrence Saindon told Fox News Digital. "The remaining ones are all walking wounded, with cuts and scrapes, nothing serious at all."

In such crisis situations,
people almost automatically switch to emergency mode.
With high dose of adrenaline,
people are more focused and act more decisively, not feeling pain.

An audio recording from the tower at Toronto Pearson International Airport shows the flight was cleared to land at about 2:10 p.m. local time. The tower warns the pilots of a possible air flow bump in the glide path as the plane comes into land because of a preceding aircraft in front of it.

"It’s very rare to see something like this,” said John Cox, CEO of aviation safety consulting firm Safety Operating Systems in St. Petersburg, Florida. “We’ve seen a couple of cases of takeoffs where airplanes have ended up inverted, but it’s pretty rare.”

Cox, who flew for U.S. Air for 25 years and has worked on NTSB investigations, said the CRJ900 aircraft is a proven aircraft that’s been in service for decades and does a good job of handling inclement weather.

“The weather conditions were windy. The wind was out of the west at 27 to 35 knots, which is about 38 miles an hour. So it was windy. But the airplanes are designed and certified to handle that. The pilots are trained and experienced to handle that."

Video from a young gentleman begining inside the plane and on his way out. AMAZING and quick work by the Crew of this flight and by Fire response. They are midst evacuations as Fire pulls up. Runway seems clear (icing over due to water from Fire respone).

GRAPHIC Language Warning.

On my way to Toronto. Latest numbers from Delta is 18 injured. I'm told three people, including one child, are in critical condition. But what a miracle that no one was killed.

Photos and video showed passengers coming down the plane’s front and rear doors and walking away on the snow-covered tarmac as firefighters hosed down the aircraft.

Here’s the latest on the crash.

At least 18 people were injured, officials said. Two passengers, including a pediatric patient, were in critical condition but were expected to survive.

www.nytimes.com

This is the latest in a string of incidents so far this year. In late January, all 67 passengers and crew aboard an American Airlines passenger jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter died when the two collided near Washington, D.C. Six people aboard a Jet Rescue Air Ambulance and one person on the ground were killed when the flight crashed in Philadelphia just days later.

Ten people were killed when the small plane they were traveling in crashed into ice on the Bering Sea in Alaska earlier this month. One person died last week when a private jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil collided with another jet at the Scottsdale Airport in Arizona.

Two pilots were able to eject from the U.S. Navy jet they were flying last week moments before it crashed into the San Diego Bay area. They were quickly pulled from the water by a nearby fishing vessel and taken to a local hospital.

The CRJ900, a popular regional jet, was developed by Canadian aerospace company Bombardier. It’s in the same family of aircraft as the CRJ700, the type of plane involved in the midair collision near Reagan National Airport on Jan.

And this on 5 February:

"A Japan Airlines jet
sliced the tail of a Delta plane
during a frightening collision at Seattle Airport.

The taxiing Japan Airlines plane that arrived from Tokyo
struck the tail of a parked Delta plane at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport at 10:17am.

Both aircraft were filled with passengers."
