In Toronto, a Delta Airlines plane crashed.
An ‘incident’ has been reported by emergency services following a Delta Airlines plane crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
“Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis,” the airport said in a statement. Emergency personnel are on the way. Every passenger and crew member is there.
The flight attendants’ organization, AFA-CWA, posted on Twitter: “Our union is reacting to an incident involving Delta Air Lines Endeavor Flight 4819 in Toronto. This flight was operated by the AFA crew. There are reportedly no fatalities. As everyone tries to learn more and assist those impacted, kindly refrain from speculating about this incident.”
“It is my understanding that most of the passengers are out and unharmed but we’re still trying to make sure so we’re still on scene investigating,” stated Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario.

Videos that are making the rounds online seem to show Delta Flight 4819 flipping on its side on a very snowy runway after taking off from Minneapolis earlier today.
Although the extent of the injuries has not been verified, local media, including CP24, report that the collision has left at least eight people hurt.
There were reportedly 80 passengers on the flight.
According to the New York Post, the Toronto area received nine inches of snow over the weekend, forcing officials to clear the runway on Sunday, February 16, so that it could be used on Monday, February 17.
Delta has been contacted by LADbible Group for comment.
Only a few weeks have passed since a commercial aircraft operated by American Airlines crashed in Washington, DC.
On January 29, the commercial airline airliner struck a Black Hawk military helicopter as it was landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport.
Along with the three individuals on the helicopter, all 64 passengers on the plane perished.
Before it became a body retrieval mission, a large search was launched to look for survivors when both planes crashed into the Potomac River.
The plane and helicopter’s stated altitudes at the time of the accident differed, according to the recorder of American Airlines Flight 5342.
Although air traffic control tower data indicated the military helicopter was flying at an altitude of approximately 200 feet when it collided with the commercial plane, the NTSB said data recovered from the flight recorder inside the aircraft claimed it was cruising at about 325 feet, with a 25-foot margin of error on either side.
