What happened during the Toronto Pearson International Airport incident?
A Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis crashed at Toronto Pearson International Airport, flipping upside down on Runway 23.

Remarkably, all 80 passengers survived the crash, though three individuals, including a child, suffered critical injuries. Passengers experienced the terrifying situation of being left dangling by their seatbelts in the overturned aircraft. The incident occurred amid recent severe winter weather conditions, and investigations are currently underway to determine the cause.
