What contributed to the 100% survival rate in the Delta Air Lines crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport?

The crash fire rescue team at Toronto Pearson International Airport played a crucial role in ensuring all 80 passengers survived the Delta Air Lines crash. Stephen Wallace, former FAA Director, emphasizes that the team responded immediately when the aircraft hit very hard and caught fire. Their efforts were described as "absolutely terrific" and "instrumental" in achieving the 100% survival rate. There may have also been an element of luck involved, as Wallace notes that a wing full of fuel broke off during the impact, potentially preventing a more catastrophic fire situation. The combination of prompt emergency response and perhaps some fortunate circumstances resulted in what could have been a tragedy becoming a remarkable survival story.
