Emergency crews are responding to a crash involving a Delta Air Lines plane that arrived Monday at Toronto Pearson Airport from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, ultimately landing upside down amid wintry conditions.
The FAA says all 80 people on board Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, were evacuated.
Peel Regional Paramedic Services confirmed to CBS News that 15 patients had been transported to the hospital. Out of those injuries, one child and two adults are critically injured. The rest of the injuries are minor to moderate, officials said.
All crew and passengers have been accounted for.
An iPad or laptop to the skull will fuck you up. Pretty much every flight I’ve been on recently, people pull out their devices again once the flight attendants are gone. I really wish flights would crack down on this and just start banning the assholes who can’t go like 8 full minutes without a screen.
Also airplane seatbelts are kind of a joke for kids. It would not surprise me if a kid came loose and became a deadly projectile.
Flying laptops are a great point. I’ll remember to cover my head in my arms the next time I’m landing.
My fav part about a flight is getting off the screen. I just put on tunes and work through a crossword book or try guess where I am from the terrain below. Also catching a sundog is super neat. Feels relaxing.
It’s only long flights I’ll take a screen for movies or something. I find it very hard to fall asleep if I’m not laying down on my stomach or side, so long flights can be rough.
