The financial statements of the airplane was at least 18 injured in which a flight of the Delta Air Lines turned upside down on Monday during the landing on the Canadian airport of Toronto. Three people are in serious condition.
At the time of the accident, the track was covered with a thin layer of snow. The flight, operated by the Endeavor Air with a Bombardier Crj900 plane and with 80 people on board, was coming from Minneapolis, in the American state of Minnesota. No explanation has yet been provided on the cause of the accident.
“All 80 passengers and the crew were evacuated,” said the Federal Administration Aviation, stressing that leading the investigations to ascertain what happened will be the Canada Transportation Safety Board.
The initial reconstructions indicate that Il Volo Delta 4819, a CRJ-900LR bombardier left by Minneapolis around 11.47 in the morning local time, had started the landing procedures without problems, but something went wrong in the final stages, making the aircraft upside down on the track and making him lose his wings and part of the tail. The images taken from one of the passengers show the evacuation of the aircraft and the rescuers in the field to facilitate the procedures on the frozen track. The accident follows a storm that hit Toronto on the weekend causing 22.90 centimeters of snow.
The reversal of the plane is the first accident from the clash between the flight of the American Airlines and a military helicopter in Washington who caused 67 deaths. And it arrives while in the United States the debate on the lack of personnel for the control of air traffic is turned on, especially in light of the cuts started to the FAA by the Department for the efficiency of the government led by Elon Musk. According to rumors, hundreds of jobs have been suppressed in radar and maintenance areas. Reductions that further complicate the already difficult situation of the FAA that attributes the lack of flight controllers to non -competitive wages, long rounds, intense training and compulsory retirement.
