Delta plane crashes and flips upside down at Toronto airport

Delta plane flips on Toronto runway (John Nelson)

A Delta Air Lines plane crashed and flipped upside down after landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday.

According to a statement by the Federal Aviation Administration, all 80 people on board were evacuated. At least 15 people were injured, with one in critical condition. One child was taken to a nearby hospital, and two people were airlifted to a trauma center. No casualties have been reported at this time.

Footage circulating on social media shows the belly-up jet looking badly damaged on the snowy runway with emergency crews responding.

Photos and videos show passengers being loaded off the flipped plane ... walking out of the overturned cabin door.

The Delta flight was landing from Minneapolis.

A weekend storm dumped over 8 inches of snow on the airport, and the weather may have contributed to this.
