Toronto plane crash: Airport confirms 22 Canadians aboard Delta flight; 2 people still in hospital

Toronto Pearson International Airport President and CEO Deborah Flint spoke to reporters on Tuesday, providing on update on the Delta Airlines plane that crash-landed and flipped over on one of the airport's runways Monday afternoon.

At least 18 people, including a child, were injured. Despite the injuries, all passengers onboard — 76 passengers and four crew members — survived. 22 passengers were Canadian, and two of the victims remain hospitalized in "non-life-threatening" condition.

Flint revealed Pearson is temporarily operating without use of it's longest east-west and north-south runways. "We do expect that the investigators on site will be reviewing the aircraft on its current configuration on the runway for the next 48 hours," she said.

Regarding what led to the incident, Flint assured media that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) would provide update on their investigation — which remains in its early stages.
