Smoke is billowing from the fuselage and the exterior of the Delta commercial jet looks burned … and it appears the wings and tail are broken off.
The airport says the incident happened Monday when a Delta flight from Minneapolis was landing.
The airfield is being cleared of ice and snow after a weekend storm dumped over 8 inches of snow on the airport, and it looks like the weather may have played a role here.
Fortunately, Toronto Pearson says “all passengers and crew are accounted for.” Reports say there were about 80 people onboard.
Photos appear to show passengers being loaded off the flipped plane … walking out of the overturned cabin door.
There’s been a slew of plane crashes recently, including commercial flights like this one.
A Delta Air Lines spokesperson tells TMZ … “Delta is aware of reports of Endeavor Flight 4819 operating from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Toronto-Pearson International Airport as involved in an incident. We are working to confirm any details and will share the most current information on news.delta.com as soon as it becomes available.”
