“Our plane crashed. She’s emphasized upside down.”
These were the words of John Nelson, the passenger on the flight of Delta Air Lines that was just crashing and overturned as they landed at the international airport in Toronto Pearson.
All 80 people on the flight from Minneapolis – 76 passengers and four crews – survived, said the CEO of the Airport.
Eighteen people were injured, but only a small number is considered seriously injured, and investigators look at what caused a collision.
“Most people seem to be fine. We all get away,” Mr. Nelson said in the video published on Facebook shortly after the incident.
He later told CNN that there was no indication of something unusual before landing.
“We took off our side, then turned on the back,” he said, adding that “was a large fireball from the left side of the plane.”
Like Mr. Nelson, Ashley Cook immediately took the social media to express his disbelief, recording himself saying: “I was just in a plane crash.” Oh my God. “
Passengers are left suspended from cabin ceiling.
“We were upside down, hanging like a bat,” Peter Koukov said, who was also on the plane, told CNN.
“One minute you land, somehow we wait to see our friends and your people, and the next moment you are physically wrong,” said another passenger, Pete Carlson, said the CBC.
Mr. Nelson said he could be burstable and pushed to the ground. “Some were somehow hanging and I needed help … and others could go alone,” he said.
Mr. Carlson said the passengers quickly behave as a team. “What I saw was all of them in that plane suddenly became very close, in terms of how to help each other, how to console each other.”
Videos divided on social media show that people worship from overturned aircraft, and fiery crew splashing him with a foam.
The following passengers who were seen helping the airport’s airport’s aircraft aircraft, and some then flee the entrance of the plane.
Despite the airplane to the runway, Diane Perry said she learned about the collision when her family called her while she was okay to check her baggage.
“It was kind of ironic that we were at the airport and we didn’t know that was the fall outside,” she said for the BBC.
The reason for the collision is not yet clear. Two runways will remain closed a few days for the investigation and passengers said they were expecting some delays.
Mr. Nelson continues to process what exactly happened, speaking to CNN that he “stressed, nervous, trembling.” He added: “It’s amazing that we’re still here.”
That feeling echoed by Mr. Carlson, who said that it was “really amazing” to be alive, while the cut on the head is. “I’m a little Baldera than I was this morning,” he said.
