Aviation incidents have been almost constantly in the news so far this year, and now Toronto is in there, too. as an hour ago a Delta plane from Minneapolis flipped on landing.
Not tipped...flipped....the plane is entirely upside down on the tarmac!
Fortunately, all aboard have come off the plane safely, although there are about fifteen injuries....a suprisingly low number given the circumstances.
The cause is not yet determined but weather involvement seems a certainty.
News reports are saying it is a small plane, but that has to be seen as a comparative term, as eighty people is not a small number of passengers..
.
We have had bad weather here for almost a week...snow, about three feet of it since Thursday (depending on where reports come from) and maybe another foot coming on Wednesday......and weather reports earlier today suggested wind could be hitting us at up to 60MPH
Anyway....the damage here is mostly limited to the physical aircraft and passengers/crew mostly OK
