A Delta Air Lines flight, designated as Delta Flight 4819, crash-landed and flipped upside-down at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17, 2025, resulting in multiple injuries, including three critically injured passengers, one of whom is a child.
The flight took off from Minneapolis at approximately 11:47 a.m. and was involved in the incident just before 3 p.m. Eyewitness accounts and social media footage reveal the aircraft, a Bombardier CRJ-900LR, badly damaged and smoldering on the snowy runway. Passengers were seen evacuating the belly-up plane as emergency responders rushed to the scene.

Reports indicate that at least eight individuals sustained injuries, with three passengers, including a pediatric patient and a man in his sixties, being transported to various hospitals for treatment. Fortunately, airport officials confirmed that all passengers and crew members were accounted for, dispelling fears of fatalities.
The crash occurred following a significant winter storm that blanketed the region with nearly nine inches of snow, raising concerns about the conditions at the airport. Authorities temporarily halted all arrivals and departures in response to the incident.
Dramatic video footage captured by a passenger shows emergency personnel working tirelessly to assist those aboard, with one witness narrating, “Most people appear to be OK. We’re all getting off.” The Association of Flight Attendants union later confirmed that there were no fatalities in the unfortunate incident.
As investigations continue, Delta Air Lines has yet to release an official statement regarding the crash. Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
