TORONTO— A Delta Airlines plane flipped upon arrival at Toronto’s Pearson Airport and ended up on its roof Monday, injuring 19 people including three who are in critical condition.
The airport confirmed on X that an “incident” occurred with the Delta flight from Minneapolis and that 76 passengers and four crew are accounted for. The accident happened at about 2:15 p.m. and flights at the airport, which handles more passengers than any other Canadian airport, were grounded for around two and a half hours.
Video from the scene shows the aircraft upside down on the snowy tarmac as emergency workers hose it down. The plane was obscured by snow from a winter storm that hit Toronto over the weekend.
Officials have not determined what caused the plane to flip, but say weather may have played a factor.
