A new video has emerged showing the moment a Delta Air Lines flight crash landed and overturned at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The video, shared by X user @airmainengineer, shows the plane approaching the runway, touching down and bursting into flames. The plane then slides across the runway and overturns and flames continue to billow out.
Global News has not been able to confirm who shot the video originally.
At least 18 people, including a child, were injured after the Delta plane — a Bombardier CRJ900 — crash landed Monday afternoon.
Pearson officials said the incident occurred around 2:30 p.m., and resulted in the closure of the airport for several hours as emergency crews worked to respond.
Delta flight 4819, which was flying to Toronto from Minneapolis, was carrying a total of 80 people on board — 76 passengers and four crew members, officials said.
Among the passengers, 22 of them were Canadian. The rest were multinational, according to Deborah Flint, president and CEO of the airport.
The flight was operated by Endeavor Air, a Delta subsidiary. All passengers and crew were accounted for. There were no fatalities.
