A DELTA plane has crashed at the Toronto airport as dramatic images show the jet on its roof after it flipped on the tarmac.
People were observed exiting the aircraft, which was en route from Minneapolis to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada, when it crashed onto the runway.
Horrifying videos shared on social media show the plane completely upside down on the snowy runway.
Smoke surrounds the jet in the aftermath of the terrifying scene.
“Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis,” the airport shared on X.
“Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for.”
Paramedics said eight people were injured in the crash, according to ABC affiliate WABC-TV.
One person was in critical condition, officials said.
The rest of the injuries were reportedly moderate to mild.
A passenger named John Nelson shared a video from the scary scene on Facebook on Monday.
“We just landed,” he said in a video showing the aircraft upside down.
“Our plane crashed, it’s upside down. The fire department is on site.
“Most people appear to be okay. We’re all getting off, [there’s] some smoke going on.”
The fire department is shown spraying fire retardant on the plane.
Delta hasn’t returned The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
Hours before the crash, the Toronto airport posted a picture on X of the cleared runway after this weekend’s snowy weather.
