SUMMARY: A Delta Airlines plane crashed and overturned while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, with all 80 passengers safely evacuating, though 18 sustained injuries. The cause is under investigation, but pilot Steve Thompson suspects winter weather and ice buildup may have been factors. This incident is the fourth aviation accident this year, following a deadly mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., that killed 67. Travelers at MSY are feeling anxious about air travel safety. The crash coincides with the Trump administration’s firing of hundreds of FAA employees, raising concerns about understaffing’s impact on aviation safety.
