The aircraft, a Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR, was flipped on its roof, trying to land at around 3.30 pm (local time) and fortunately all passengers are safe with only 18 continuous injuries.
A new video emerged on social media, which was shown flipping on the delta flight 4819 runway, as it landed at Toronto Airport.

Passengers recalled delta jet crash in Toronto
A passenger, Pete Kokov, remained unaware of any issue until the aircraft touched down.
“We hit the ground, and we were sideways, and then we were hanging like a bats,” Kokov explained to Bryanna Keller of CNN.
Crash footage indicates the absence of specific landing process where pilots increase the nose to increase the resistance of air against the wings.
CNN Aviation Analyst Mary Shiavo said, “There was no attempt to erupt at all, which slows down the aircraft.”
A medical helicopter pilot reported air traffic control that the aircraft was “upside down and burning.”
Kokov succeeded in releasing his seat belt and exiting the aircraft independently, while some passengers needed help to get down from their seats.
“Just feel lucky and happy I got to give to the person I did not know that I am hugging a big hug, we were fine, and look at my friends who take me from the airport and take them from the airport Here to give a big hug, “he said.
Fellow passenger John Nelson expressed amazement over his existence, “It’s surprising that we are still here.”
Nelson said, “When we hit, it was just a super hard – it hit the ground, and the aircraft went sideways,” Nelson said, seeing that he on the left side of the aircraft “a big fireball” ” saw.
He described the withdrawal as “mass chaos” as the passengers struggled with their seat belt while trying to get out.
Nelson said, “We tried to leave from there as soon as possible.” “I still smell like jet fuel.”
A footage caught by a survivor of the accident revealed that a female passenger suspended her seat after the aircraft overturned.
“My plane crashes, I am upside down,” he wrote with recording.
After this, in the video, frightened passengers were shown to scare passengers to get out of the aircraft, making their way for safety. “I was on the bus Plane crashOh my God, “the distressed passenger commented.
Officials started investigation in aircraft accident
The airport fire chief said, “What we can say was drought, and there was no crosswind situation.”
A record of airport tower radio traffic indicates that Endeavor Pilot got information about the winds of 26 mph, reaching 38 mph, which distinguishes the trajectory of the aircraft at an angle of 40 degrees. In Pearson, the air was raising snow in the air, resulting in a visibility of five miles.
A retired jet pilot Les Aband suggested that the weather conditions probably deteriorated rapidly before the crew responded.
“With snow blowing, it may have changed rapidly, so the airplane ahead of this aircraft may have a different position compared to this particular delta regional jet,” Ebend on Tuesday on CNN’s Kayla Tusche Told it.
The CEO of the airport announced that the two runways at Toronto Pearson would be “closed in the next several days during the investigation period.
