In a remarkable turn of events, all 80 passengers and crew aboard Delta Connection Flight 4819 survived an upside down crash landing in Toronto.
The aircraft, arriving from Minneapolis, flipped upside down and caught fire upon landing.
How’s that for a twist ending?
Everything is going great, your landing, and in a split second you’re upside down and on fire?!
In response, Delta Air Lines has offered $30,000 to each passenger as a goodwill gesture.
Not sure I’d take that.
Let’s get these people a cool million each.

The Express Tribune reports:
Delta Air Lines is offering $30,000 in compensation to each passenger aboard Delta Connection Flight 4819 after its crash landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday.
The airline confirmed the payout on Wednesday, stating that the gesture comes with “no strings attached” and does not affect passengers’ legal rights.
The flight, operated by Delta’s regional subsidiary Endeavor Air, departed Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport with 76 passengers and four crew members. Upon landing in Toronto, the Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft experienced a hard landing, resulting in the right wing striking the ground before the plane flipped upside down. The impact caused severe structural damage, including the loss of both wings and the tail section, while flames and smoke emerged from the wreckage.
Who’s still flying?
People that aren’t reading my articles, that’s who!
Not until DOGE and Trump fix this industry would I feel confident enough to get on a flying metal machine.
But thank the Lord those people survived! A true miracle.
