80 people survived on the Delta Flight after the jet flipped through the Toronto runway on Monday.
WASHINGTON – A shocking scene unfolds at a Toronto airport as the plane flips upside down on the runway after landing. All passengers on the aircraft survived the incident.
“We had just landed, the plane crashed and turned upside down,” explains the confused moment of one passenger.
“There are a lot of questions at first, but the first question is 'Why does this happen?',” said S. Todd Eyit, a former air traffic controller with 13 years of experience.
Despite the recent crash in DC, landings in Philadelphia, Alaska and now Toronto, it ensured the public that flight was safe for the year.
“There are 45,000 aviation businesses every day in the national airspace system,” Yeary explained. “There are 44,999 safe cases for every possible incident and we need not dismiss the need for continuous safety improvements, but we will not lose sight of the big picture. Still in the world It's the safest aviation system.”
WUSA9 asked why it might seem like we're seeing more crashes.
“We feel that way because we have more information, come faster and come with a vivid impression similar to what we remember from 9/11,” Yeary says. . “We remember that planes were flying to twin towers. We remember the effects of falling when these images came out. We're unstable. That's why. I think that responsible conversations about how the system works, why it works, and what it does to keep improving will rather help the flying public reassure them.”
Former National Road Safety Commission investigator Alan Diel said it is very unlikely that he was killed in the crash of a plane.
“Please note that there is one opportunity for every 10 million people,” Diehl said. “The next time I go for surgery, I try to get that odds from the surgeon,” he added.
He explained that the fact that everyone survived the crash in Toronto indicates that the plane is safer than before.
“We were very fortunate that the fire was not so serious and had no impact on the fuselage, but more importantly, all the signs have made it a crash-worthy seat where passengers can survive. I had it,” Diehl said.
Both Diehl and Yeary agreed that despite the “feeling” like an increase in crashes, this doesn't seem to be any surprising trend.
“The only commonality is that they are all involved in aircraft. Each incident is unique in itself,” the year said.
With regard to the crash in Toronto, many experts speculate that the weather is likely to play a role in the crash.
“I'm not saying the wind caused this accident, but I've certainly landed on slippery runways and crosswinds, and for example, at the rudder to try and keep going straight down the runway. You need to use some aerodynamic forces, and you don't usually need to do that on a dry runway,” says Diehl.
The crash may have raised concerns at the beginning, but the survival of all passengers underscores the increased safety of modern aviation, Diehl says.
“Flying is still safe,” Deal said. “What happened in Toronto today is good news. It showed that the aircraft are more automated and better, and that the planes have more impact potential.”
