The crash of an Endeavor Air Mitsubishi CRJ900, operating as Delta Connection flight DL4819 from Minneapolis-Saint Paul to Toronto, has prompted an investigation by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB), with assistance from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) of the United States. The incident occurred on February 17 at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

The NTSB announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it would send a team to support Canadian authorities in investigating the crash. "Per international protocols under the International Civil Aviation Organization’s [ICAO] Annex 13, any information about the investigation will be released by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada," stated the NTSB.

On the same day, TSB confirmed its deployment to investigate and gather data on the accident at Toronto-Pearson. Videos circulating online show that during landing, the aircraft swayed and flipped onto its roof after a hard touchdown.

All passengers and crew members were accounted for following the incident. Delta Air Lines reported that 18 individuals sustained injuries. Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines, expressed sympathy for those affected and thanked employees and first responders for their efforts. "We are working to confirm details and will share current information [on Delta Air Lines’ website] as soon as it becomes available," Bastian stated.

Delta has dispatched its Care Team to provide support in Toronto. Jim Graham, CEO of Endeavor Air, is also traveling there. Meanwhile, airport operations have resumed after temporary disruptions due to severe weather conditions affecting flights in Toronto.

According to Flightradar24 data, harsh weather conditions included winds up to 36 knots with blowing snow when the CRJ900 landed. Environment and Climate Change Canada noted nearly 50 centimeters of snow accumulation in Ontario around this time.
