All passengers survive Toronto plane crash. All but two of the 21 people injured on the flight that crashed while landing at a Toronto airport on Feb. 17 have been released from hospitals, the airport CEO said on Feb. 18. The Delta Airlines Jet ended up upside down on the runway at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. Authorities said the cause of the crash remains under investigation.

The crash was the fourth major aviation accident in North America in recent weeks.
