A Delta Air Lines regional jet crashed while landing at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
In a social media post, the airport operator said it was "aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta (Air Lines) plane arriving from Minneapolis." The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that there were no fatalities.
"Delta Air Lines Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada around 2:45 p.m. local time on Monday, February 17. All 80 people on board were evacuated," the statement said. "The CRJ-900 departed Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will be in charge of the investigation and will provide any updates."
Other social media posts appeared to show the regional jet upside down on the tarmac in Toronto. |

The Delta Air Lines regional jet that crash-landed and flipped over at Toronto's Pearson International Airport last month was descending too fast, according to Canadian investigators.
A Delta Air Lines plane sits on its roof after crashing upon landing at Toronto Pearson Airport in Toronto on Feb. 17. The Endeavor Air flight 4819 with 76 passengers and four crew was landing at around 3:30 p.m. in Canada's biggest metropolis, having flown from Minneapolis, the airline said. National A Delta Air Lines jet flips upside down on a Toronto runway and all 80 aboard survive In releasing its preliminary report on the February 17th crash Thursday, Canada's Transportation Safety Board noted that in the seconds before touching down, the CRJ 900 was descending at a rate of more than 1,100 feet per minute, which is nearly twice as fast as it should've been descending.
All 80 people on board the plane survived the crash, even though it flipped over and caught fire as it slid down the snowy runway. Twenty-one people were injured, two of them seriously.
The flight, operated by Endeavor Air under the Delta Connection brand name, had taken off from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport at 11:47 a.m. CT with 76 passengers and four flight crew members on board. "The flight proceeded uneventfully" towards Toronto, according to the TSB.
In the final seconds before touching down at Toronto's Pearson Airport at 2:12 p.m. ET in strong, gusty winds, the TSB report shows that the plane was descending at a rate of more than 1,100 feet per minute. The report notes the aircraft's operating manual states that a hard landing is defined as "[a] landing at a vertical descent rate greater than 600 ft/min."
In addition, the plane was banking at an angle of 7.1° to the right, and the pitch attitude was 1° nose up.
