Toronto, Feb. 18 (BNA): A Delta Air Lines jet flipped on its roof while landing Monday at Toronto’s Pearson Airport. However, all 80 people on board survived and those hurt had relatively minor injuries, the airport’s chief executive said.

Snow blown by winds gusting to 40 mph (65 kph) swirled when the flight from Minneapolis carrying 76 passengers and four crew attempted to land at around 2:15 p.m. 

Communications between the tower and pilot were normal on approach and it’s not clear what went so drastically wrong when the plane touched down, according to the Associated Press (AP).

Canadian authorities held two brief news conferences but provided no details on the crash. Video posted to social media showed the aftermath with the Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR overturned, the fuselage seemingly intact and firefighters dousing what was left of the fire as passengers climbed out and walked across the tarmac.

Toronto Pearson Fire Chief Todd Aitken said 18 passengers were taken to the hospital.
