Delta Air Lines flight 4819 from Minneapolis to Toronto, operated by subsidiary Endeaver Air, was carrying a total of 80 people on board — 76 passengers and four crew members. Among the passengers, 22 of them were Canadian. The rest were multinational, according to Deborah Flint, president and CEO of the airport.
The plane crash happened at around 2:30 p.m. ET.
All passengers and crew were accounted for. There were no fatalities, however, at least 18 people were injured from the crash, including a child.
The aircraft was a Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR. Video posted to social media showed the aftermath with the plane overturned and firefighters dousing the aircraft as passengers climbed out and walked across the snowy tarmac.
“Airport emergency workers mounted a textbook response, reaching the site within minutes and quickly evacuating the passengers,” Flint said at a press conference on Monday night.
On Monday, Pearson was experiencing blowing snow and winds of 51 km/h gusting to 65 km/h, according to the Meteorological Service of Canada. The temperature was about minus 8.6 degrees Celsius. The plan arriving from Minneapolis arrived amid blowing snow following a winter storm that hit the Toronto region over the weekend.
