Toronto, SANA- A Delta Air Lines flight has flipped upside down upon landing at Toronto Pearson Airport on Feb 17 amid windy weather following a snowstorm, injuring 18 of the 80 people on board but causing no deaths.

Delta Air Lines said in a statement that “Initial reports indicate there are no fatalities and 18 passengers with injuries have been transported to area hospitals. Our primary focus is taking care of those impacted.”
