US airline Delta has announced that it will offer $30,000 to each passenger on a plane that crashed while landing at Toronto airport earlier this week. The gesture, which has no strings attached, is intended to support the 80 passengers who were on board the flight.
The plane, which departed from Minneapolis, Minnesota, hit the runway hard and flipped upside down, engulfing the aircraft in a fireball and thick plumes of black smoke. Miraculously, none of the passengers were killed, although 21 were injured, with one still hospitalized as of Wednesday morning.
Delta’s offer comes as Canada’s Transportation Safety Board launches an investigation into the crash, assisted by the US Federal Aviation Administration and other parties. The incident is the latest in a recent string of air incidents in North America, highlighting concerns over aviation safety.
