The investigating authorities have said that circumstances surrounding the crash remain unknown but “all passengers and crew are out and most remain unharmed”.

Footage on social media showed emergency teams rescuing the people onboard the Delta Airlines plane which flipped upside down upon its landing at the Toronto Pearson airport in Ontario.

The Delta Airlines CRJ-900 flight operated by Endeavor Air saw its wings detached from the fuselage as it came to rest upside down at the airport. The video showed people exiting the aircraft with the emergency team responding at the crash site.

According to Toronto Pearson airport President and CEO Deborah Flint, at least 17 passengers were injured in Monday’s crash landing of Delta Air Lines. Flint added that 22 of the 76 passengers aboard the plane were Canadian.

“At this time, we do not know of any of those passengers having critical injuries,” Flint said. She also praised the heroics of the first responders, stating emergency workers at the airport “mounted a textbook response.”

The Toronto Pearson airport informed that departures and arrivals resumed at the airport as of 5pm (local time). The airport CEO said that two runways at the airport will remain shut until the officials investigate the crash.

Flight Radar 24, a website which tracks the movement of aircrafts, informed on X that about 26 flights have been diverted from Toronto Pearson airport.
