Passengers On Flipped Toronto Plane Describe Harrowing Ordeal

One man told CNN the event was an “emotional rollercoaster."

On Monday, a Delta Air Lines flight departing from Minneapolis crashed at Toronto’s Pearson international Airport, flipping upside-down on the runway.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the flight, DL 4819, was carrying 80 people, all of whom made it out alive.

Now, some are speaking out about their harrowing ordeal.

John Nelson, one passenger, recounted to CNN that the plane’s occupants “tried to get out of there as quickly as possible.”

“We hit the ground and the plane went sideways and I believe we skidded on our side and flipped over on our back,” Nelson told the outlet. As the plane came to a halt, the passengers made a swift dash for the nearest exit. He described the scene as “mass chaos,” and like being on an “emotional rollercoaster.”
