Delta offering $30K to passengers aboard flight that crashed, flipped in Toronto
(CBS News) — Delta Air Lines says it is offering $30,000 to passengers who were aboard a flight from Minneapolis that crashed and flipped upside down while landing in Toronto on Monday.
All of the 80 people on board Flight 4819 — 76 passengers and four crew members — survived the fiery crash. As of Wednesday morning, 20 of the 21 passengers who were taken to local hospitals had been released.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian spoke to CBS Mornings amid the ongoing investigation, saying the plane — which was operated by Delta Air Lines subsidiary Endeavor Air — had an experienced crew on board who were trained for any condition.
John Nelson, one of the passengers, captured the scene as he climbed out of the upside-down plane. He says there was a hard landing and the plane skidded on its side before flipping on its back.
