**Eighty passengers and crew members walk away unharmed from a harrowing aircraft accident.**
Witnesses recount the astonishing moments of survival after a Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The plane, carrying 76 passengers and 4 crew members, flipped upside down upon its arrival, but remarkably, all aboard survived. According to the airport’s chief executive, 18 passengers suffered injuries, with three individuals—a child, a 60-year-old man, and a 40-year-old woman—reported to have serious injuries, though none were deemed critical.
"I thought I was going to die," shared passenger John Nelson, who filmed a dramatic scene outside the aircraft. "Then we crashed—we're upside down." In subsequent video footage, Nelson recounted the chaotic moment when the plane skidded and flipped, revealing he noticed a "big fireball" on the left side as they lost control. Fellow passenger Peter Koukov echoed this, recalling how they hung upside down in their seats, reminiscent of "bats in a cave."
Once the crash occurred, emergency responders quickly arrived, deploying foam to contain any potential fire. Passengers could be seen emerging from the overturned craft, with airport staff assisting them. Others fled down emergency slides, capturing a mix of relief and bewilderment amidst the distressing incident.
Interestingly, while much of the chaos unfolded outside, passenger Diane Perry remained oblivious to the events; she learned of the crash only when her family called her from inside the airport.
Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash, and two terminals have been closed indefinitely. Passengers are being cautioned to expect delays as the investigation unfolds. Reflecting on the traumatic moments, Nelson admitted that he was still processing the event. “It’s amazing that we’re still here,” he stated.
