A Delta Air Lines plane crashed while landing Monday afternoon at the snowy Toronto Pearson International Airport.
All 80 passengers and crew were evacuated, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Canada's transport minister said.
Flight 4819, which took off from Minneapolis, appeared upside down in pictures posted to social media from the airport. It was snowing at the airport on Monday afternoon and the airport had previously said on X that it anticipated high winds.
The airport said on social media that emergency teams were responding to the incident and that "all passengers and crew are accounted for."
Delta Air Lines didn't immediately return a request for comment. The flight was operated by Endeavor Air, Delta's regional subsidiary.
Departures to Toronto Pearson were grounded due to an "aircraft emergency," according to a notice on the Federal Aviation Administration's website.
A string of aircraft incidents in recent weeks has stirred fear among fliers and the broader aviation community. An American Airlines regional jet collided with a military helicopter near Washington, D.C., last month, leaving no survivors. A medical transport jet crashed two days later in a fiery explosion near a mall in northeast Philadelphia, killing seven. The wreckage of a passenger plane carrying 10 people was found in Alaska earlier this month.
