“We are off to Fort Lauderdale at 4:55, but we have only been delayed a half an hour so far. When I was out grabbing lunch, I hear people at the table behind me saying there was an accident at Pearson. What? And then someone at the end of the bar said, yeah a plane flipped over. And I’m like, what! And so we are hearing cancellations, and the airport closed and all this time. And then finally when things, information starts flowing, we are hearing that we are only delayed and not canceled. So we were going through the whole gamut of, where are we going to stay tonight, are we leaving tomorrow morning, we have got to catch a cruise. And we can’t catch any port of call until the beginning of March. So we got to get on this boat.”

Three people on the flight that originated at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport suffered critical injuries, among them a child, authorities added.

U.S. carrier Delta said a CRJ900 aircraft operated by its Endeavor Air subsidiary was involved in a single-aircraft accident with 76 passengers and four crew members on board. The 16-year-old CRJ900, made by Canada’s Bombardier BBDb.TO and powered by GE Aerospace GE.N engines, can seat up to 90 people.

********* authorities said they would investigate the cause of the ******, which was not yet known.

Pearson Airport said earlier on Monday it was dealing with high winds and frigid temperatures as airlines attempted to catch up with missed flights after a weekend snowstorm dumped more than 22 cm (8.6 inches) of snow at the airport.

The Delta plane touched down in Toronto at 2:13 p.m. (1913 GMT) after an 86-minute flight and came to rest near the intersection of runway 23 and runway 15, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24.
