Here is a video of the Delta flight crashing in Toronto. The plane appeared to land almost normally, but a little hard on impact. The landing gear might have collapsed, and the fuel tanks might have ruptured when the belly of the plane hit the runway. There is a big fireball trailing the plane, and the right wing breaks off at some point, causing the plane to flip upside-down. It will be interesting to see what the final conclusion is on the cause of the crash.

Not an airplane issue, but an airport issue: London's Heathrow Airport shuts down when a fire damages the electrical substation feeding the airport. A total of 1,351 flights were cancelled.

Heathrow airport: Pilot admits ‘I don’t know where we’re going’ in mid-air during flight diversion chaos

A passenger whose plane was due to land at Heathrow today said the pilot told those onboard that they had no idea where they could land after Europe’s biggest airport shut after a fire caused a major power outage.

Thousands of travel plans have been thrown into chaos after London’s Heathrow Airport closed in the early hours, and it will remain so until at least 11.59pm on Friday, 21 March – with 1,351 flights have been affected.

Up to 300,000 customers were set to fly through Heathrow on Friday. Tim, a passenger who was flying to London from Bangkok, Thailand, told LBC’s Nick Ferrari at Breakfast that the pilot told the cabin that they were unsure where the plane would go.

At the time, 120 planes were in the sky heading for Heathrow and had to divert to other airports.
