Crash investigation underway by Canadian/U.S. authorities

Toronto Pearson International Airport is slowly getting operations back to normal following Monday’s crash of a Delta Air Lines plane.

The plane on arrival from Minneapolis flipped over upon landing.

Four crew members and 76 passengers were on board, including 22 Canadians.

Airport officials say 21 people were sent to hospital.

Only two remain in hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Investigators with the Transportation Safety Board and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration are involved.

Delta has also sent a team to investigate.

Toronto was hit by a severe snowstorm days before, but airport officials will not speculate if that played a factor.

More than 460 flights were cancelled because of the incident.

The airport is now in the process of catching up on delayed flights.
