A Delta Air Lines flight traveling from New York to Toronto faced a catastrophic incident on February 17, 2025, resulting in the plane flipping onto its roof during landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Initial reports indicate that the aircraft, a Boeing 737-900ER, lost control while attempting to land in adverse weather conditions including high winds and rain. Witnesses described a dramatic scene as emergency services rushed to the site following the incident. Passengers onboard expressed shock and concern, with many recounting moments of panic as the flight made its final descent. ‘I thought we were going to crash completely,’ commented Lucy Chen, a passenger who was seated near the wing. Firefighters were able to quickly evacuate passengers, and it was reported that all 150 individuals onboard survived with only minor injuries. Local authorities, alongside Delta’s team, initiated an investigation to determine the sequence of events leading to the crash. Canadian Transportation Safety Board (TSB) officials have stated they will probe the flight data recorders for further insight into the incident. Delta Air Lines has expressed its regret over the incident and is cooperating fully with the investigation efforts. The airline’s CEO, Ed Bastian, stated, ‘We are grateful that all passengers and crew are safe, and our focus is on supporting them as we investigate the circumstances.’ Meanwhile, transportation experts are calling for a review of safety protocols, particularly regarding operations in poor weather conditions. In addition, the airport’s management has reassured that thorough inspections of the runway and emergency systems will take place to prevent future occurrences.
