Crashed plane cleared from airport runway as delays persist at Pearson

Delta Air Lines says all 21 people taken to hospital after one of its planes crashed in Toronto have now been released, as airport officials work to reopen two runways. The wreckage has been cleared from the runway, but the airport is still operating at reduced capacity and two out of five runways remain closed, an official with Toronto's Pearson airport says. It's not clear when those runways will reopen, and the airport is still advising travellers to check their flight status before they leave. Meanwhile, Delta Air Lines says it will continue to provide care to those who were on board Delta's Endeavor Flight 4819 when it crashed upon landing Monday at Pearson. All 76 passengers and four crew members survived when the plane skidded on the tarmac and burst into flames. The airline is offering the passengers US$30,000 each as compensation, saying that the money "has no strings attached." <br/>
