Off The Record
Stunning New Video Shows A Delta Air Lines Plane Crash Land, Flip Over, And Explode Into A Fireball
The Delta Air Lines aircraft that crashed at Pearson Airport in Toronto can be seen descending to the earth, then flipping over and erupting into a flame in new video.
Despite the fact that it looks like everyone on board survived, Delta Flight 4819 appeared to crash land on a snowy runway and roll over.
Of the 80 individuals on board, it appears that 18 were hurt and that there were no fatalities in yesterday’s incident, which happened at approximately 2:15 p.m. local time (17 February).
While the scene from outside the jet was absolutely horrifying for observers, survivors of the plane accident have shared footage of what it was like inside the actual aircraft.
As Delta Flight 4819 flipped over, flames erupted from the airplane, and people seemed to feel the force of the landing as they watched it come down on the runway.
After the incident, three people were taken to the hospital by air ambulance for their injuries, but it’s amazing that none of the 76 passengers and four crew members died.
One of the passengers, Peter Carlson, described the plane’s landing as “very forceful.”
“All of a sudden everything just kind of went sideways and then next thing I know it’s kind of a blink and I’m upside down still strapped in,” he said of the experience of being in the crash.
Numerous aviation professionals have offered their opinions on the occurrence, with many stating that the plane’s runway flip was most likely caused by the weather.
“A’strong gust of wind’ affecting the plane when it touched down caused it to flip over,” CNN aviation specialist Peter Goelz said.
The wind and snow near the Toronto airport are probably going to play a big role in the plane toppling down, aviation expert Scott Hamilton said Newsweek.
John Cox, a specialist in aviation safety, stated that it was “very rare to see something like this.”
He said: “We’ve seen a couple of cases of take-offs where airplanes have ended up inverted, but it’s pretty rare.”
“The weather conditions were windy. The wind was out of the west at 27 to 35 knots, which is about 38 miles an hour (61kph). So it was windy.”
“But the airplanes are designed and certified to handle that. The pilots are trained and experienced to handle that.”
In order to obtain a better understanding of what transpired, the plane’s flight recorder and cockpit audio recorder have been recovered as part of the crash inquiry.
