John Nelson is grateful to be alive after surviving the crash landing in Toronto.
A Delta airlines aircraft flying in from Minneapolis, Minnesota crashed landed and flipped upside down as it arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Jan. 17. Fortunately, all 80 passengers aboard were able to escape with some suffering minor injuries.
John, who recorded the aftermath of the incident, said it was a “typical flight” until the plane made landfall.
“Coming in, it was routine,” John said during a Jan. 17 interview with CNN. “But it was noticeable that the runways were in a weird condition. And when we hit the ground, and the plane went sideways, we skidded on our sides and ended on our backs.”
“When we got finished, we were upside down,” he continued. “Thankfully, everybody was okay, but we tried to get out of there as quickly as possible. Shortly after I filmed the video there was another explosion, but the firefighters were there.”
John was one of the 76 passengers and four crew members on Delta Flight 4819.
