Shocking new footage has shown the disastrous landing of the Delta Air Lines plane that flipped over at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, Feb. 17.
The footage shared on X shows the Delta Flight 4819 bursting into flames and then tipping over as it skidded on the snow-covered runway.
Massive orange flames can be seen sprouting out of the back of the plane before the fire eventually turns to a thick, black cloud of smoke.
The plane appears to tip onto its side as it skids on the ground, knocking off a wing before flipping upside down.
The close-up footage also shows a large cloud of black smoke washing over the fuselage before the plane eventually disappears behind the smoke.
Other footage shows the plane landing from afar and immediately sprouting a fireball before flipping over.
Despite the flames, all 80 passengers and crew aboard were safely evacuated.
Although 18 were hospitalized, none were badly injured, officials said.
Emergency crews quickly responded to the wreckage, which was partially on fire as it landed, shaving off part of a wing and the tail.
Other footage showed firefighters dousing the flames with water as the plane wreck lay belly-up on the runway.
It was not immediately clear what caused the plane to flip, but Toronto’s Pearson Airport Fire Chief Todd Aitken noted that the runway “was dry and there were no cross-wind conditions.”
The mangled Bombardier CRJ-900LR, which left Minneapolis for Toronto earlier that morning, was left smouldering on the snowy tarmac as dazed passengers scrambled off and firefighters snuffed the blaze.
Investigators are working to uncover how exactly the Delta plane ended up upside down on the runway.
