Delta Airlines crash survivor recalls one thing he noticed before the plane flipped upside-down

Delta Airlines plane crashed and flipped while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17.

Luckily, all of the 76 passengers and the four members of the crew survived. Eighteen people have been injured with only few of them reported to have sustained more serious injuries.

“We are very grateful there was no loss of life and relatively minor injuries,” Deborah Flint, CEO of Greater Toronto Airports Authority, said.

One of the passengers, and a plane crash survivor, who was on the flight that was heading from Minneapolis to Toronto was John Nelson.

He recalled the moment the plane flipped upside down.

Talking to ABC News, Nelson said, “The winds were whipping pretty hard and the runways were snow covered. There was no warning.”

He recalled that the plane hit the ground “extremely hard,” before popping a bit and then learning to the left.

“It was just incredibly fast. There was a giant firewall down the side. I could actually feel the heat through the glass,” Nelson recounted. “Then we were going sideways. I’m not even sure how many times we tumbled, but we ended upside down,” he shared with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.

 

The plane crash survivor also recounted his memory of the stressful event to CNN, saying “It was a surreal feeling. And then everyone was just like, ‘Get out! Get out! Get out!’”

He added: “We could smell jet fuel. Even now I smell like jet fuel.”

Luckily, all of the passengers and the crew members were evacuated before more of the aircraft set on fire.

Many agree that it was miracle the plane didn’t burst into flames.

“The fact this plane did not explode in flames because of the amount of jet fuel is nothing short of a miracle,” one person commented on YouTube. “Thank god all the souls on this flight survived.”
