Delta Airline's Scary Landing Mishap in Toronto
- Rapid Approach Speed: US Aviation Mishap in Toronto Could Not Decelerate Adequately
Hey there! Let's talk about the recent accident involving Delta Airlines' plane from Minneapolis, Minnesota, that crashed in Toronto on the 17th of February, causing an explosion upon impact. The unfortunate incident left 21 people injured.
Over the past few weeks, multiple plane crashes have taken place across North America. To give you some context, let's rewind to the end of January when a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter whilst landing in Washington, resulting in the tragic death of all 67 passengers on both aircraft. Just two days later, a small plane met its doom over Philadelphia, claiming the lives of seven souls.
Now, let's delve a little deeper into the Toronto incident:
- Toronto Pearson International Airport - The scene of the unfortunate accident.
- Catastrophic Crash Landing - A mishap that will echo for quite some time.
- Interim Report - With the investigation still ongoing, this report offers an initial glimpse into the tragedy.
- Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport - The origin point of the ill-fated flight.
- Delta Airlines - The airline that lost a plane in the accident.
It was a MHI RJ Aviation Group CL-600-2D24 (CRJ-900LR) with registration N932XJ (serial number 15194) that met its end in Toronto. Upon landing on Runway 23, the aircraft's right main landing gear fractured, causing the right wing to detach, which triggered a fire as jet fuel spilled onto the snow-covered runway. The plane overturned, slid down the runway, and came to rest near the intersection of Runway 23 and 15L.
Although all 80 individuals on board – 76 passengers and four crew members – were evacuated, 21 people were injured. Fortunately, the serious injuries were limited to just two individuals.
Investigators are currently working tirelessly to determine the root cause of the crash. Factors including metallurgical analysis of the wing, landing procedures, pilot training, and the evacuation of passengers are all under scrutiny. Both the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) have been retrieved for further analysis.
Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the affected families during this difficult time.
