A Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis crashed, turned upside down and caught fire on the runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport while attempting to land Monday, the latest in a string of passenger plane crashes since December. All 80 people on board the CRJ900 twin-jet aircraft survived, but 21 people were taken to hospitals with injuries, Delta said in a statement. By Wednesday morning, only one was still hospitalized, according to Delta. Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway. The plane briefly skids on its belly before rolling over, sending smoke and powdery snow shooting into the air. “Oh, no, no, no, no, no!” says the person taking the video, watching from inside a different plane near the runway. “When we hit, it was just super hard. It hit the ground, and the plane went sideways,” said passenger John Nelson, adding, “It’s amazing that we’re still here.”
