Delta Airlines plane crash-lands and flips upside down in Toronto (video)

A Delta Airlines plane flipped over and landed upside down while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, Feb. 17. 

The aircraft had 80 people on board, including passengers and crew. 

The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed all individuals were evacuated after the incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. local time. 

The plane, a Bombardier CR900, had flown from Minneapolis in the US to Toronto, Canada when it flipped and landed upside down shortly.  
 

Video from a Delta plane crash survivor showed one woman hanging upside down from her seat in the rolled-over aircraft. 

“My plane crashed I’m upside down,” she captioned the video. 

She then recorded the terrified passengers stumbling off the plane as they escaped to safety. 

“I was just in a plane crash, oh my god,” the shocked passenger stated. 

The Toronto airport has temporarily shut down, forcing flights to be diverted to nearby airports. 

According to Peel Regional Paramedic Services, 15 patients have been transported to the hospital. Out of those injuries, one child and two adults are critically injured. The rest of the injuries are minor to moderate, officials said, CBS News reported. 

In a written statement, Delta said it is aware of the incident and is working to confirm additional details. 

The airline will provide information as it becomes available, a spokesperson said.
