BREAKING- Toronto had a Delta flight flipped upside down. I got these photos from a friend on the plane. He’s okay. Minnesota to Toronto.

I believe Toronto was hammered by winter weather yesterday/last few days.

Wow.  I was wondering if those slides would hamper evacuation with the plane inverted.  Looks like someone was smart enough not to deploy them.

Wonder if the snow actually helped?

Instead of sudden stopping on bare concrete - which would rip the fuselage apart easily - maybe the plane skidded a bit?

Aside from the wings gone, the body looks intact ...

Losing the wings while the body is intact seems pretty odd... Are both wings gone? They are structurally well connected to fuselage.

Gawd I hate this p***k

Rep. Eric Swalwell Falsely Claims Trump Had ‘More Plane Crashes’ in First Month Than Any President

Far-left Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) falsely claimed that “no president has had more planes crash in their first month in office than Donald Trump,” a statement easily debunked by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

However, publicly available NTSB data shows the agency investigated 55 plane accidents in the U.S., with 24 resulting in injuries or death, during former President Joe Biden’s first month in office.

In Trump’s first month in office, 35 U.S. incidents were recorded in the NTSB investigation database, with 12 resulting in injuries or death.

I watched the local TV news this evening. A story they got from one of the networks tried mightily to imply - wink, wink, nudge, nudge - Trump has fired all the air traffic controllers. Somehow, I think that's not quite true. (They weren't talking about the Toronto crash at the time, not that it would have mattered).

It makes sense to Democrats to blame Trump for a plane crash in another country. That's all we need to know.

Well, one thing: Whoever built the plane built a fuselage that could withstand some intense stresses, and it remained intact. That fact alone likely saved some lives.

That's what I'm seeing is a hard landing. The pilot failed to flare and instead went in too hard. Pilot error.

 Still nothing other than this about the pilots...


Delta CEO says crew on Toronto plane that crash-landed, flipped was experienced
By Emily Crane   
Published Feb. 19, 2025, 1:35 p.m. ET

The Delta flight crew on board the jet that crash-landed and flipped over in Toronto was experienced and trained for such ordeals, the airline’s CEO said Wednesday — as he poured cold water on fears about mass Federal Aviation Agency layoffs under President Trump.

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian praised the actions of the flight crew who quickly evacuated the plane when it crashed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, insisting they were familiar with wintry conditions there.

“All these pilots train for these conditions,” Bastian told “CBS Mornings,” adding that “there is one level of safety at Delta.”

Delta releases new information about captain, first officer flying plane that crashed in Toronto
After Toronto plane crash, Delta says flight crew was properly certified
Rachel Wolf By Rachel Wolf Fox News
Published February 21, 2025 8:35am EST


Delta Air Lines pushed back against online rumors and "misleading assertions" about the crew aboard Flight 4819, operated by its subsidiary Endeavor Air, which crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport on Monday.

The flight’s captain was hired in October 2007 by Mesaba Airlines and served as an active duty captain and in pilot training and safety capacities, the airline said. Mesaba Airlines merged with Pinnacle Airlines in 2012, leading to the creation of Endeavor Air.

"Assertions that he failed training events are false. Assertions that he failed to flow into a pilot position at Delta Air Lines due to training failures are also false," the airline said in a statement Thursday.

Endeavor Air hired the first officer in January 2024, and she has been flying with the airline since she completed her training in April. According to Delta, her flight experience time exceeded minimum federal requirements. The airline also said that "assertions that she failed training events are false."

What we know (and don’t) about the Delta airplane crash
While some claims about the flight crew have been widely circulated, not all of them are supported by verified information. Here’s a breakdown of what has been confirmed and what remains unverified.

In the aftermath of the Delta Connection Endeavor Air Flight 4819 crash at Toronto’s Pearson airport, speculation has been rampant across social media.

While some claims about the flight crew have been widely circulated, not all of them are supported by verified information. Here’s a breakdown of what has been confirmed and what remains unverified.

What’s unverified:

The identity of the pilots has been a topic of speculation online, but as of now, no official confirmation has been made. The names of the pilots have not been publicly released by Delta or Endeavor Air....
