A video recorded by one of the survivors of Delta Air Lines Flight 4819, which crashed and flipped upside-down on the runway at the Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, reveals a shocking glimpse at the remains of the Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR plane crash.
In a post on Instagram, Pete Koukov, one of the airplane passengers, shared footage that he recorded as he was exiting the upside-down Delta airplane following Monday’s crash. Alongside the Instagram video, Koukov wrote, “Being alive feels pretty cool today.”
Koukov’s video shows passengers exiting the airplane with the help of flight attendants, who can be heard instructing the passengers to leave all of their belongings behind on the plane, to put their electronic devices away, and to not take videos in the aftermath of the crash. The video also shows the airplane tray tables dangling from the back of the upside-down seats and luggage scattered throughout the airplane cabin.

Later in the video, emergency responders can be seen using fire suppressant to extinguish any remaining flames from the crash as passengers continued to exit the aircraft.
Expressing his shock after surviving the airplane crash, Koukov can be heard saying, “Yo, I was just on this f-cking plane!”
