A Delta flight crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday and the plane was seen upside-down on the snow-covered ground.
Fifteen people have been taken to hospitals, according to Peel Regional Paramedic Services. Two people were airlifted to Toronto trauma centers and one child was transported to a children's hospital.
Ornge, which provides medical transport, said three people suffered critical injuries: one child, a man in his 60s and a woman in her 40s.
All 80 passengers and crew on Flight 4819 have been evacuated, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The flight originated in Minneapolis.
What caused the plane to flip and catch fire was not immediately clear but the investigation is already underway, sources told ABC News. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will lead the investigation, the FAA said.
The Toronto Airport is closed until at least 4:30 p.m.
While the cause is unknown, the crash unfolded during blowing snow and strong wind gusts in the region. Winds reached 40 mph on the ground and were even stronger several hundred feet in the air.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Not a good look for Air Canada. 🤣
The ABC story doesn’t mention that there were fatalities. I just copied the text 5 minutes ago or so.
Does anybody know if the pilots name was Denzel?
There apparently were fatalities. As of now the ABC website is still saying “all expected to survive”. I thought a miracle had occurred.
“”””This, too, is Trump’s fault.”””
Definitely. President Trump made fun of Governor Trudeau. Now there is a plane crash in Canada with a plane from Minnesota. Coincidence? I think not.
Don't you mean...

Nobody can troll like The Donald, AKA President Donald John Trump.
I thought it was Delta.
In before someone posts something about DEI.
I think I saw a report that 12 died.
I always thought I was an Olympic level smartass. I have met my match.
lol, first thing that crossed my mind. I guess he needed a little more of John Goodman’s special stuff.

The guy who knows exactly how it flipped over is Hank Johnson
No reports as of yet, per Canadian enemedia, of any fatalities.
