Monday night, a Delta plane set to land nearly made it to Toronto Pearson International Airport safely. But before the plane could actually land, it flipped completely upside-down, landing on the aircraft’s roof. Needless to say, this was a terrifying moment for every single person on board. Thankfully, though, all 80 passengers and crew members, miraculously, survived this plane flip.

An investigation is still underway to figure out exactly what caused this plane to flip. At the moment, strong winds are suspected to be a contributing factor. Still, we won’t know for sure until more progress has been made. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is said to be leading this investigation. The video below gives us a closer look at the plane after it crashed.
