As it landed in the Canadian city, the plane skidded along the runway in flames before flipping over and coming to a halt upside down. Passengers described their amazement as most of them walked away without injuries. It remains unclear what caused the incident, which is under investigation. There were 76 passengers and four crew on the flight, which had travelled from the US city of Minneapolis before making its crash-landing in Canada. A spokesperson for Delta said the money offer had no strings attached and did not affect customers' rights.
Delta Air Lines is offering a “no strings attached” payment of $30,000 to passengers who were aboard the flight that crash-landed in Toronto.

The airline said 21 passengers were transported to a hospital, but none had life-threatening injuries.
