Toronto plane crash: 19 passengers released from hospital – Delta Airline
Delta Airline on Tuesday said 19 out of the 21 passengers transported to local hospitals after a Toronto plane crash a day earlier have been released.
This is as officials continue to investigate why the regional jet flipped over upon landing.
DAILY POST reported that an aircraft belonging to Delta Airline crashed while landing on Monday.
It was gathered that investigators from Canada’s Transportation Safety Board, TSB, are leading the probe to unravel why the CRJ900 aircraft operated by Delta Airlines’ Endeavor Air subsidiary went belly-up on Monday at Toronto’s Pearson Airport.
It’s not yet clear what happened to Flight DL4819 from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
The 16-year-old CRJ900, made by Canada’s Bombardier and powered by GE Aerospace engines, can seat up to 90 people.
Footages after the accident showed that at least one of the two wings was no longer attached to the plane.
Meanwhile, Toronto Pearson Airport said earlier on Monday that it was dealing with high winds and frigid temperatures as airlines attempted to catch up with missed flights after a weekend snowstorm dumped more than 22 cm of snow at the airport.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intensified its crackdown on illicit drug trade in Kano, intercepting large consignments of narcotics and arresting multiple suspects in a series of operations.
In a statement released on Sunday, NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi confirmed the arrest of two suspects, both 23 years old, at Gadar Tamburawa on Zaria Road on February 3.
According to him, the operatives recovered 15,396 pills of tramadol concealed inside a gas cylinder.
“In another operation on the same day, operatives nabbed a female suspect, 35, with 27 blocks of skunk, a strain of cannabis weighing 15kg, at Sabon Gari area of Kano,” Babafemi said.
The agency also intercepted a shipment of 12,800 pills of tramadol 250mg heading to Shuwarin in Jigawa State.
The consignment was seized by NDLEA officers patrolling the Kabba-Obajana Highway in Kogi State on February 8, leading to the arrest of a 33-year-old suspect.
Babafemi further disclosed that operatives recovered 65 parcels of Colorado, a synthetic strain of cannabis, weighing 1.6kg.
“The consignment was bound for Jigawa State when it was intercepted at a checkpoint, with a 32-year-old suspect taken into custody.”
Beyond enforcement, the NDLEA has continued its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) sensitization activities across Kano and other states in schools, worship centers, workplaces, and communities, among other locations, throughout the past week.
According to Babafemi, recent engagements included an enlightenment lecture at Taangayar Malam Abubakar Bichi, an Almajiri school in Bichi, Kano.

The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has condemned the recent bandit attacks in Dawakin Basa Village, Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, urging repentant bandits to take immediate action to prevent further violence.
In a statement signed by its president, Khalil Moh’d Bello, and shared with DAILY POST on Wednesday evening, the Fulani association expressed deep concern over the attacks, describing them as a betrayal of the peace agreement between the Kaduna State Government, local emirs, community leaders, and bandit leaders.
The incident comes at a time when Birnin Gwari stakeholders were celebrating the success of the peace accord, making the renewed violence especially disheartening.
KACRAN lamented this setback, noting that it undermines the progress achieved in restoring stability to the region.
“We also express our deepest condolences regarding this negative development and urge residents of Dawakin Basa to refrain from any retaliatory actions that could escalate violence.
“We call upon the Kaduna State Government to provide the necessary support and cooperation to repentant bandits to help them navigate the new security challenges in the region.
“We remain committed to fostering peace and stability in Kaduna State and Nigeria at large.”
Despite this setback, KACRAN urged Northern states to remain steadfast in their peace and reintegration efforts for genuinely repentant armed groups.
“KACRAN is profoundly affected by this situation. As a peace-loving association, we have celebrated the progress made through the peace accord between the Kaduna State Government and repentant bandits. We commend the dedication and courage of the Kaduna State Governor in this endeavor and urge other governors in the Northwest to follow suit.”
The association reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to peace and the eradication of criminal activities across the country.
