New, dramatic video captures the moment Delta Flight 4819 caught fire and rolled over upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday afternoon. The footage, which has been provided to investigators, shows the plane touching down, erupting in flames, bouncing on the runway, and then overturning. The aircraft came to a stop upside-down on the snow-covered Toronto runway. All 76 passengers and four crew members, who were on the flight from Minneapolis, evacuated the plane. Everyone survived, but at least 21 people were taken to hospitals. As of Tuesday morning, 19 have been released, according to Delta. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is leading the investigation, with assistance from the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board. The CRJ 900 aircraft was operated by Endeavor Air. Delta CEO Ed Bastian stated, “Our most pressing priority remains taking care of all customers and Endeavor crew members who were involved. We’ll do everything we can to support them and their families in the days ahead, and I know the hearts, thoughts, and prayers of the entire Delta community are with them. We are grateful for all the first responders and medical teams who have been caring for them.” — news from ABC News
