Delta Airlines plane crash-landed upside-down at Toronto Pearson International Airport, leaving 18 passengers injured, including three in critical condition. Despite the harrowing incident, all onboard survived, raising questions about aviation safety amid a series of recent plane-related accidents.

The crash occurred on Monday when the aircraft overturned upon landing at Canada's busiest airport. Emergency responders, including Peel Regional Paramedic Services, treated the injured, which included a child.

What Helped Passengers Survive?

A combination of expert engineering, the aircraft’s structural integrity, and the use of seatbelts played a vital role in ensuring passengers made it out alive, experts say.

Mike McCormick, an associate professor and air traffic management program coordinator at Florida's Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, explained to USA Today that it is extremely rare for planes to flip upside down. However, modern aircraft are designed to withstand such incidents.

Aircraft seats are built to endure forces up to sixteen times the force of gravity, McCormick noted. This ensures that seats remain secured even during severe impacts, helping keep passengers restrained and reducing the risk of serious injuries. This is a key reason why passengers are instructed to wear seatbelts during takeoff and landing. “As long as there are no loose objects flying around the cabin, the seats are designed to keep passengers safely strapped in,” McCormick said.

The incident at Toronto Pearson International Airport is now under investigation as authorities seek to determine the exact cause of the crash.
