Delta Air Lines is offering $30,000 to each of the 80 individuals aboard Delta Connection flight 4819, which crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport earlier this week. Operated by Endeavor Air, the flight originated from Minneapolis–St. Paul Airport. While no fatalities occurred, 21 people were injured, three critically. Photos from the scene depict the CRJ-900 jet upside down on the tarmac, with all passengers and crew successfully evacuated. Delta emphasized that the payment comes with no strings attached and does not affect legal rights. The incident adds to a series of recent aviation accidents globally, including crashes in South Korea, Azerbaijan, and Alaska. Some have attributed these disasters to White House budget cuts, but Delta CEO Ed Bastian stated he is not concerned. He noted that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) workforce remains robust, with cuts affecting non-critical functions. The Trump administration has pledged to invest in modernizing air traffic control systems and hiring additional personnel. — news from Fox Business
