Several Injured After Delta Plane Flips Over Upon Landing in Toronto
A Delta plane crashed and flipped over at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The incident injured at least 15 people, including one child.
The flight came in from Minneapolis, MN, with 76 passengers and four crew members. The airport canceled all arrivals and departures for now.
Of course, even though the FAA doesn’t have jurisdiction in Canada, the media wasted no time to blame President Donald Trump and Elon Musk:
NBC’s Tom Costello ties Donald Trump, @ElonMusk, and @DOGE to the Delta Airlines crash in Toronto, Canada: “[T]his is going yet again raised a concern about FAA staffing — air traffic control staffing. Now, this is a Canadian air traffic control tower and this is under Canadian authority once it crosses the border. And yet, as you know, there has been this talk about maybe staff cuts at the FAA as a part of President Trump’s effort to trim down the federal workforce. And yet, as you also know, the FAA has been complaining for years that they are understaffed in critical job positions, especially air traffic control. I was having a conversation with somebody today about whether air traffic control and Americans being affected by the staff cuts so far not to their knowledge and yet other positions related to maintaining critical equipment appeared to have been cut, so this is going to feed into all of these recent incidents and the safety of — of the total air traffic system is going to be very much a part of the conversation as we go forward, at least on the side of the country of the border, I should say.”
