TORONTO, Feb 18 — A Delta Air Lines jet carrying 80 people crash-landed at Toronto Pearson Airport on Monday, flipping upside down upon impact. At least 17 people were injured, including three critically, but no fatalities were reported.

The Endeavor Air flight 4819, with 76 passengers and four crew members, was arriving from Minneapolis when the accident occurred. Emergency responders swiftly evacuated passengers, and all injured individuals were transported to hospitals.

Dramatic footage showed the overturned CRJ-900 aircraft with smoke rising from the fuselage as fire crews doused it with water. The cause of the crash remains unclear.

Toronto’s airport temporarily suspended flights before resuming operations later in the evening. Officials, including Canada’s Transport Minister Anita Anand and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, confirmed the incident and expressed relief that there were no fatalities.
