() A travel journalist says the Delta Airlines plane flipping in Canada on Monday is not a pattern of plane crashes following a string of crashes and accidents involving planes in the first month and a half of 2025.

Peter Greenberg told ” Now” that this was “an isolated incident” and “nobody should jump to any conclusion that we have a bigger problem with air safety.”

The Delta Airlines plane flipped upon arrival at Toronto’s Pearson Airport and paramedics said 15 people were injured in the crash and none of the injuries were life-threatening.

Other airline crashes in 2025

Two weeks ago, an American Airlines passenger jet and an Army helicopter collided in midair in Washington, D.C., killing all 67 people on board; a military plane crashed into San Diego Bay; a plane crashed in Alaska and a medical jet crashed in Philadelphia all in the first few weeks of 2025.

There were also multiple smaller incidents, including runway collisions in the U.S. and abroad.

Greenberg said the bigger issue is a “chronic problem of staffing at the Federal Aviation Authority.”

Delta flight flips over in Toronto

Two people were taken by separate air ambulances to a trauma center in Toronto and one was taken to a children’s hospital.

The airport confirmed on X that an “incident” occurred with the Delta flight from Minneapolis and that all passengers and crew were accounted for. Video from the scene showed the plane upside down on the snowy tarmac as emergency workers hosed it down.

“Emergency teams are responding,” the airport said in a post on the social platform X. “All passengers and crew are accounted for.”

At the time of the crash, weather reports show Toronto experiencing 31 mph hour winds with gusts upwards of 40 mph and a temperature of 18 F with a wind chill of -5 F.

Toronto crash has silver lining: pilot

Commercially licensed pilot Josh Schirard said it may seem contradictory, but Monday’s crash in Toronto demonstrates that air travel remains safe.

“We’re looking at a plane that has lost its wings, it has lost its tail, that has rolled over. And we’re watching all of these people be evacuated. And right now, while we do have some in critical [condition], we have no fatalities,” he told Now.

Schirard singled out flight attendants for praise.

“I guarantee you that, in this case, those flight attendants were absolutely pivotal on making sure that everyone was evacuated from that aircraft safely and efficiently. That should really have some confidence for the American public and the world-traveling public, as well.”
