STORYLINE:
Flights continued as normal in Minneapolis a day after a Delta Air Lines jet crashed in Toronto.
The Delta Air Lines jet came down fast, landing so hard that it lost its right wing, then burst into flames on a runway in Toronto. The aircraft slid to a stop, upside down, a trail of black smoke in its wake and passengers scrambling to escape the wreckage.
Miraculously, all 80 people on board the flight from Minneapolis to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport survived. All but two of the 21 people injured on the flight have been released from hospitals, the airport CEO said Tuesday.
The aircraft was a Mitsubishi CRJ-900 made by the Canadian company Bombardier operated by Endeavor Air, based in Minneapolis, is a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines
Endeavor Air is the world’s largest operator of CRJ-900 aircraft. The airline operates 130 regional jets on 700 daily flights to over 126 cities in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, according to the company’s website.
Authorities said the cause of the crash remains under investigation. Communications between the tower and pilot were normal on approach and it’s not clear what went wrong when the plane touched down.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada would head up the investigation and provide any updates. The NTSB in the U.S. said it was sending a team to assist.
