Story

On Monday, February 17, 2025, a Delta Airlines flight operated by Endeavor Air crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada. The aircraft, carrying 80 people, including 76 passengers and four crew members, overturned upon landing. Images and footage from the scene depicted the plane upside down on the snow-covered tarmac, highlighting the severity of the incident. Following the crash, emergency teams swiftly responded to the site. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other local agencies confirmed that all individuals on board were evacuated and accounted for. However, reports indicated that out of the 18 individuals who sustained injuries, three remained in critical condition. Two adults and one child were the most severely injured, with medical teams providing urgent care and transporting them to appropriate medical facilities. The incident was exacerbated by adverse weather conditions, as the area had been experiencing a significant snowstorm prior to the flight’s arrival. Blowing snow and winds reaching up to 65 mph contributed to challenging landing conditions, which the airport had previously warned could lead to delays in both departures and arrivals. The origin of Flight 4819 was Minneapolis, and upon arrival, reports confirmed multiple injuries among the passengers.
