A stunning video of the Delta flight that suffered a crash landing at Toronto International Airport Monday afternoon has emerged.
The crash landing left the plane’s fuselage laying upside down, with the force of hitting the ground has sheered off its wings. Thus far, all of the 80-some passengers have survived the crash, though many are being treated in a nearby hospital.
During CNN’s coverage of the harrowing incident, Pete Muntean walked viewers through what they were seeing from photos of the upside-down aircraft:
That is the bottom of the fuselage. Now, on the top, you can also see the foam truck here and the firefighters responding from the airport firehouse putting out the fire, which looked to be primarily on the bottom of the fuselage of the airplane. That is where the fuel is that is so critical to get that fire out quickly as you’re trying to evacuate people. So a lot happening here all at once.Let me recue this so you can see some of what was going on the very front of the airplane. You’re probably familiar with this door here as we pan over. This is the R-1 exit. In aviation terms, this is what you would board on coming in and out of a jetway. The door is fully open. The slide is not deployed. Don’t need it because you’re upside down. And you can see the folks here are coming out of
the airplane, which would have been completely dark and on fire. You have to imagine the terror as folks tried to get out of this very quickly.
Muntean concluded, “Everybody across the board, pilots, flight attendants, the control tower, the crash fire, rescue crews, even the passengers did a good job.”
