Delta Regional Jet Flipped in Toronto Crash Due to Landing Gear Failure

Preliminary investigation confirms right main landing gear collapse as primary cause, with all 80 on board surviving and 21 injured.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has identified the collapse of the right main landing gear as the primary factor in the February 17 crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The landing gear failure caused the wing to detach, releasing jet fuel that ignited a fire; the aircraft flipped onto its roof during the incident.
All 80 passengers and crew survived, though 21 people sustained injuries, including two serious cases; all have since been released from the hospital.
The first officer, who was operating the aircraft during the landing, had 1,422 hours of flying experience, below FAA minimums, but was allowed to fly under a special waiver due to her aviation degree.
Investigators are still examining contributing factors, including environmental conditions and procedural adherence, with no timeline yet for the final report.
