Delta Airlines plane turned into fireball after crashing on runway in Toronto | News World [Video]

Terrifying new footage has emerged of the moment a passenger plane crashed in a ball of flame on landing in Canada.

All 80 passengers and crew on the Delta Airlines flight that flipped upside down in icy conditions at Canada’s Toronto Pearson Airport survived.

But video of the plane’s descent shows just how miraculous this was, with the plane suffering a harsh bump and skid, sending fire and thick black smoke trailing behind.

Three people, believed to be two adults and a child, suffered critical injuries when the flight from Minneapolis overturned while trying to land in blizzard conditions yesterday.

In total, 18 passengers were taken to hospital for treatment.

Airport president Deborah Flint hailed the work of first responders as she said: ‘We are very grateful that there is no loss of life and relatively minor injuries.’

Canadian authorities held two brief news conferences but provided no details on the crash.
