A passenger of the Delta plane that flipped over after landing in Toronto recorded herself right after the crash and uploaded the scene to social media. "My plane crashed I'm upside down," reads the caption of the brief post, which then goes on to show scenes outside the aircraft, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The plane, Delta Flight 4819, had departed from Minneapolis at 11:47 a.m., local time. It carried 80 people and was operated by Endeavor Air, Delta's regional subsidiary. Toronto Pearson authorities confirmed the incident in a publication on social media, adding that "all passengers and crews are accounted for." "Emergency teams are responding," authorities added.
Peel Regional Police, whose jurisdiction includes the airport, said 15 people are injured as a result of the incident. Three of them has been listed as "critical," two of them adults and the other one a child.
Lawrence Saindon, a superintendent for Peel Regional Paramedic Services, said that 12 other passengers sustained minor injuries, NBC Newsreported.
All 80 passengers and crew were accounted for. There are no fatalities as a result of the crash and all passengers, including those with critical injuries, are expected to survive.
The Delta flight caught fire after crashing, but first responders were able to put out the blaze and passengers and crew were able to safely evacuate, as reported by ABC News.
Incidents involving aircraft have proliferated over the past weeks, among them a crash between a passenger jet and an Army helicopter over the Potomac River in Washington in late January, where 67 people died. Six other people died days later after a small medical plane crashed in Philadelphia, and two more last Saturday after a single-engine aircraft crashed into the woods in Georgia. Moreover, a private jet owned by Vince Neil, the lead singer of Mötley Crüe, was involved in a plane crash with one fatality and one injured, Rain Hannah Andreani, last Monday.
