Terrifying Delta Flight Crash Captured on Video—No Casualties, But What a Scare!
So, you know how they say flying is the safest mode of transportation? Well, that mantra took a wild hit when a Delta flight coming in from Minneapolis crashed spectacularly at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Newly released video footage does not spare the details—it’s a heart-stopping view of the plane literally bursting into flames upon touching down on the snowy runway. Talk about a hot landing!
The video, filmed by a shocked bystander in their vehicle, shows the horrifying moment the plane’s tires hit the ground, triggering a fiery explosion and skidding action that turns into a full-blown spiral of chaos. “Oh f**k! Oh, no-no-no!” the witness could be heard exclaiming, and honestly, same. The footage provides the clearest indication of the panic that unfolded.
According to reports, the aircraft flipped over and released a thick cloud of black smoke into the air as firefighters rushed to the scene with their hoses. Thankfully, all 76 passengers and four crew members made it out alive. Sure, 18 individuals sustained injuries and were hospitalized, but it’s a miracle that no one lost their life in this dramatic crash.
In light of this event, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada is currently leading the investigation, with backup from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). It’s a reminder of just how complex air travel can be and how quickly things can turn from mundane to utterly terrifying.
Incidents like this have raised questions about airline safety protocols during winter months, especially as weather conditions can change rapidly. Airlines like Delta are generally praised for their adhering to robust safety measures, but incidents like this serve as a stark reminder that, sometimes, the skies are anything but friendly.
In any case, it’s safe to say that this flight will be a memorable one for everyone onboard—just not for the reasons they might have wanted!
