Investing.com -- A Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) regional jet experienced a safety warning system alert due to a rapid rate of descent before it landed and flipped over at Canada’s largest airport in February, according to a preliminary report by the country’s Transportation Safety Board (TSB) released on Thursday.
The incident, which involved flight DL4819, a CRJ900 jet operated by Delta’s Endeavor Air subsidiary, resulted in injuries to nearly two dozen passengers. However, none of the 80 people on board from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport lost their lives in the accident.
A video of the plane overturning upon landing and missing its right wing at Toronto’s Pearson (LON:PSON) Airport had been widely shared on social media. The accident is one of several recent high-profile air crashes that U.S. airline CEOs have pointed out as factors impacting domestic travel demand.
According to the report, some passengers struggled to undo their safety belts due to the plane’s inverted position. A few passengers sustained injuries when they released their safety belts and fell to the ceiling. The TSB stated that it has no knowledge of any safety belt or seat failures during the accident.
The report also shed light on the crew members’ experience. The captain of the jet had been employed with Endeavor Air since 2007 and had logged 3,570 hours of total flight time. The first officer had accumulated 1,422 hours of total flight time. The incident on February 17 is still under investigation by the TSB.
