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.
I didn’t mean to imply otherwise, so I apologize if that was the interpretation. There are tens of thousands of commercial flights every day around the world (a quick search suggests around 100,000+ per day), so a couple of crashes is a fraction of a drop in the ocean.
I think the news highlighting the other non-commercial airline crashes lately is due to the US charter flight/helicopter crash, so it’s got higher attention traction. I also wouldn’t doubt it’s somewhat politically motivated, as the charter plane crash was attributed to underfunded, understaffed Air Traffic Control, while President Edolph Musk and First Lady Trump continue gutting agencies like the FAA.
