How Did This Plane Flip Upside Down on Landing? #aviation #canada #planecrash

On February 17, 2025, Delta Connection Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, crash-landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The Bombardier CRJ900LR aircraft, arriving from Minneapolis, encountered snowy and gusty conditions during its final approach. Upon landing, the plane flipped upside down, resulting in significant structural damage, including a detached wing and tail section. All 80 individuals on board—76 passengers and four crew members—were evacuated safely; however, 18 sustained injuries, with at least three reported in critical condition. Passengers described the scene as chaotic, noting the smell of jet fuel and visible flames. Emergency responders promptly arrived, extinguished the fire, and transported the injured to local hospitals. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada, with assistance from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration, has initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the accident. This incident is among several recent aviation accidents in North America, including a mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., and a medical transport jet crash in Philadelphia.
