Authorities say at least 18 people are injured after a Delta Air Lines plane flipped upside down while landing amid wintry conditions Monday at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration says 80 people were aboard Flight 4819, which originated from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
“Doug Ford is glad there were no casualties.” Dude, 17 people went to the hospital, what’re you talking about? Did he mean fatalities?
There are several definitions of casualty, some mention “serious injury or death” while others refer to “death through injury, illness or violence”.
So the his statement is at the very least not obviously misleading.
Had the same thought - casualty is definitely not the right word to use here
Fatalities likely would have been the more correct word to use, yeah.
