00:00A new video shows the moment a Delta Airlines plane flipped over with 80 people on board.
00:06It took off in Minneapolis and burst into flames before going belly up at the Toronto
00:10Pearson International Airport.
00:16One passenger said the plane left them hanging like bats once it flipped over.
00:20Luckily, everyone survived the crash landing.
00:23Delta said 21 passengers were transported to hospitals, but 19 were released the next
00:27day.
00:28Flight analysts say it doesn't look like the plane even attempted to flare.
00:32That's when the plane raises its nose to make for a softer landing.
00:35Experts also believe the stormy weather and strong winds may have played a part in the
00:38crash.
00:39The incident highlights wider concerns about the Federal Aviation Administration's role.
00:43On the day of the crash, the Trump administration fired hundreds of FAA staff, including people
00:48in the safety department.
00:49Investigators are still piecing together what may have caused the incident.
00:52The CRJ-900 aircraft, built by Bombardier, has been involved in more than 100 accidents
00:57since 2005, but has never had a fatal incident.
