On February 17, the Delta Air Lines jet crash-landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport, bursting into flames shortly after touching the runway and then flipping upside down. The plane's right wing and tail were sheared off during the landing.

One passenger said he was “drenched with jet fuel” as the planed rolled upside down and another claimed the crash occurred due to the flight crew’s "inadequate training," according to the lawsuits.
