Investigators probe cause of Toronto Delta plane crash
Investigators are looking into what made a Delta plane crash land and flip over at Toronto's Pearson Airport on Monday, an incident all 80 people on board survived. Airport CEO Deborah Flint said investigators will be reviewing the aircraft on the runway for the next 48 hours, adding that this was "not the time" to speculate on the cause of the crash. The Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis skidded along the runway with flames visible before it came to a halt upside down. Twenty-one people were injured, of which 19 have been released from the hospital, authorities said on Tuesday. The two patients do not face life-threatening injuries. There were 76 passengers and four crew on board the 16-year-old CRJ900 aircraft, made by Canada's Bombardier company. Injuries at the time of the crash ranged from head injuries to back sprains, and nausea and vomiting due to jet fuel exposure, a representative for Peel Regional Paramedic Services said. Experts told the BBC it was miraculous that everyone survived the crash, adding that the swift response of flight attendants and emergency crews helped save people, as well as plane safety improvements.<br/>
