EIGHT people were injured when a plane carrying 80 passengers flipped as it landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport yesterday, officials said.
Video posted by News Channel3 Now showed a Delta Air Lines plane belly up on a snow-covered tarmac, with people walking away from the plane. Toronto’s Pearson Airport said earlier yesterday it was dealing with high winds and frigid temperatures as airlines attempted to catch up with missed flights after a weekend snowstorm dumped over 8.6 inches of snow at the airport.
Of the eight injuries, one was critical and the rest were mild to moderate, Peel Regional Paramedic Services Supervisor Lawrence Saindon said.
The US Federal Aviation Administration said all departures were halted.
