THE frightening aviation crashes that have left airline passengers in distress are “simply random clustering,” as air travel remains the safest form of travel, an attorney has said.

The latest aerial incident occurred on Monday when a Delta Air Lines flight that originated from Minneapolis crash-landed, and turned upside down as it made its descent into Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada.

Jaw-dropping footage of the aftermath showed passengers crawling and jumping out of the burning Bombardier CRJ900, which was belly-up on the runway.

Fire responders raced onto the icy tarmac, evacuating passengers from the wreckage, and spraying white fire retardant over the aircraft.

The terrifying incident occurred weeks after an American Airlines flight, carrying 64 passengers and crew members, collided mid-air with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington DC on the evening of January 29.

All passengers and crew members onboard the American Airlines flight and the three soldiers onboard the Black Hawk helicopter died.

The harrowing caught-on-camera crash, which was the deadliest aviation disaster in the United States in 16 years, rocked the country as many of the victims on the commercial flight were young aspiring figure ice skaters, coaches, and parents.
