Delta Offers Passengers $30,000 Each After Crash Landing

ATLANTA (FOX9) — Delta is offering each passenger $30,000 after they survived their jet bursting into flames and flipping upside down in Toronto on Monday.

In a statement, Delta Care Team representatives say this “gesture has no strings attached and does not affect rights.”

Twenty-one people were injured when the flight from Minneapolis made a hard landing before it lost a wing, burst into flames and flipped onto its roof at Toronto’s airport.

All 80 people on board survived the crash.

Toronto Pearson Fire Chief Todd Aitken said the runway was dry and there was no crosswind conditions.

Audio recordings indicate the control tower warned the pilots of a possible air flow “bump” on the approach. Winds were gusting up to 40 mph.

Investigators and airport officials have been careful to avoid talking about what went wrong when the plane touched down.
