Just two out of the passengers hurt in the Delta Air Lines plane crash in Toronto are still hospitalized, the airport CEO said Tuesday.
All 80 people aboard the plane made it out of the crash landing alive, when the Minneapolis to Toronto flight hit the ground at the airport and turned upside down.
Seventeen people, including a child, were injured in the crash and the cause of the incident remains under investigation.
Deborah Flint, the CEO of Greater Toronto Airports Authority, said in a press conference Tuesday that 19 of the 21 people injured in the crash had been released by the hospital. She did not provide details about the two remaining hospitalized people, The Associated Press reported.
Aviation experts said it was a “miracle” that everyone aboard the plane survived and said although the crash occurred, several things went right, including the plane shedding its wings.
Investigators will be examining what happened, and how much of an impact the high winds had on the crash landing.
It’s the latest in a string of aviation accidents in North America, which began with the deadliest crash in over 20 years when an American Airlines flight collided midair with a Black Hawk military helicopter, killing nearly 70 people.
