Authorities say at least 18 people are injured after a Delta Air Lines plane flipped upside down while landing amid wintry conditions Monday at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration says 80 people were aboard Flight 4819, which originated from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Once is a fluke, twice is a concern, three is a trend.
Haven’t there been 4?
I just looked it up and yeah, there have been 4 in just a few weeks: https://www.fox4news.com/news/deadly-plane-crashes-2025-timeline
This one was in Canada
I would separate the ones involving major airline, and the one involving private jets/smaller planes. Alaska has the reputation to be a place where people fly without a licence (Or lost their licence due to drunk-flying but kept flying) and winter ops there sounds like a bit more extreme than regular air-lines.
But indeed, planes aren’t supposed to do barrel roll on the runaway. not sure what happened, I expect to see some interesting "air-crash investigation " video in the coming years (Yes I am too lazy to read the report by myself)
Four is politics.
Five is a number.
6 is just great
There are claims that just before the accident, someone said on the radio: “Do a barrel roll!”
God dammit, Peppy!
Imagine being such a Russian pawn that you immediately bring the aviation industry down to Russia’s level.
If you are referring to Trump as the pawn, I would like to remind you that this airport in not (yet) in the U.S., and that Pearson has its own ATC. Also, Pearson is one of the worst airports in the modern world.
Good thing for my argument that the problem is most manifestly systemic and not dependent on the rating of any airport pulled out of anyone’s ass. Last I checked, this time the plane didn’t collide with other aircraft, so I’ll give the ATCs a pass. Then again, I wasn’t the one insecure enough to bring them up.
Funny thing, when a system is stressed enough, the effects generally propagate throughout all of it as resources that would have been available in one area are dwindled in other areas. I’ll let you get back to your Canada being a US state lemmy.ml fantasizing.
Seems pretty incredible that it flipped over and lost a wing, presumably with fuel still, but everyone survived. I’m glad it’s only injuries.
It’s so cold right now the plane said “fuck this, you guys try keeping me warm now.”
I see Denzel’s got his pilots license back
There is no way all these sudden crashes are a fluke. There were hardly any for last several months and now it’s almost weekly.
Do you know this from data, or just what’s reported in the news?
