Several people have been injured after a Bombardier plane operated by regional airline Endeavor Air — a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines — crashed and flipped upside down upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Miraculously, no one was killed. Eric Sorensen reports on what witnesses saw and what investigators will try to figure out.
Ontario and Quebec spent the weekend digging out of the biggest snowstorm of the season. Mike Armstrong looks at how the winter blast wreaked havoc on airports, streets and schools, plus how some people are trying to take it in stride.
American and Russian officials are preparing to discuss an end to Russia's war in Ukraine, but those negotiations won't include Ukraine or other European countries. Redmond Shannon explains what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is saying about being left on the sidelines and how not all European leaders are on the same page.
Plus, Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee, the commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, is warning Canada's Arctic sovereignty and security are "under challenge" amid U.S. President Donald Trump's calls for Canada to increase its defence spending. Nathaniel Dove reports on Canada's efforts to re-arm its Arctic territory and what countries might help Canada.

00:00Breaking news, a plane crashes at Canada's largest airport.
00:09We're seeing like some black smoke coming from the runway.
00:14The flight that flipped over, the condition of those on board, and the investigation getting
00:19underway.
00:20Global National with Donna Friesen, reporting tonight, Colleen Christie.
00:27Everything, drop it.
00:28Come on.
00:29Don't take it down, it's not going away.
00:35On verified video, seemingly capturing the moment, dozens of passengers on board this
00:39Delta Airlines plane at Toronto's Pearson International Airport get out of the aircraft
00:44after it flipped upside down in a crash landing.
00:48All passengers and crew are reportedly accounted for, but there are reports of injuries.
00:54Good evening, thanks for joining us.
00:56The situation is developing at this country's largest airport.
01:00Many details are still scarce, but we do know the plane was carrying four crew and 76 passengers.
01:0622 Canadians were among those on board.
01:09We begin with Eric Sorensen, who is at the airport.
01:12Eric, what more do you know?
01:14It was a remarkable scene here this afternoon at Pearson Airport, Colleen.
01:18A regional jet out of Minneapolis being run by Endeavour Aircraft on behalf of Delta Airlines
01:24was flying in to Toronto this afternoon when the plane crash landed and flipped over onto
01:30its roof.
01:31Remarkably, no one was killed.
01:33There were injuries, estimates of around 15 or so people injured, a few serious.
01:39One child was reported to have been carried by Orange Air Ambulance to Sick Children's
01:43Hospital.
01:44Here's what one eyewitness had to say about what he saw.
01:49We were doing some plane spotting over on that plaza over there at the intersection
01:55and we saw something, some big smoke coming over, over the airport so we rushed here to
02:01check out what exactly was happening.
02:03So I was walking to this fence and I could see a CRJ that is crashed on the, possibly
02:13crashed on the airport.
02:15The airplanes flipped.
02:19We are very focused on the care and the concern and the passengers and the crew, some of whom
02:25have already been reunified with their friends and their families.
02:29That news conference just happening from the Toronto Airport Authority, remarkably there
02:34were no fatalities, there were some injuries and we'll get more details on that as we go.
02:38But now the investigation will begin.
02:40The National Transportation Safety Board of Canada will lead that investigation.
02:44The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is also sending investigators.
02:48They'll be looking to see, first of all, was there human error on the part of pilots or
02:52air traffic controllers?
02:54Was there a catastrophic failure perhaps on the part of the plane, some kind of mechanical
02:58failure?
02:59Or were there some outside circumstances such as the weather?
03:03We've had a lot of snow here the last couple of days, 60 centimeters or more, and today
03:07there were very high winds.
03:09So blowing snow and high winds could be a factor that the investigators will be looking
03:14into.
03:15Colleen.
03:16Eric, have airport operations returned to normal now?
03:18Yes, you know, when the accident happened, they shut down all flights into and out of
03:23the airport.
03:24I bumped into some passengers who were leaving around 4.30 this afternoon, but by five o'clock,
03:29less than three hours after the accident, they reopened the flights to into and out
03:33of Pearson.
03:34I can see a lot of traffic happening here now.
03:36So flights are back to normal here in Toronto.
03:39It's a pretty remarkable story that there were no fatalities from an airplane crash
03:44landing, flipping over, and everybody seems to be relatively OK.
03:50Truly miraculous.
03:51Eric Sorensen at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
03:54Thanks, Eric.
03:55Global News meteorologist Anthony Farnell joins us now.
03:58Anthony, what would teams have been dealing with to clear or de-ice runways at Pearson
04:03today?
04:04Well, they've been working nonstop yesterday.
04:07About 25 centimetres of snow fell on the airport and surrounding areas, but they did a great
04:13job and they're able to do that, get rid of the snow.
04:16Today, however, it wasn't snowing at the time of the crash.
04:20This is our visible satellite imagery.
04:22And what it does show around two, three o'clock, that's peak instability in the afternoon.
04:28So you start to get a bit of extra turbulence in these streamers you see here.
04:32These are actually residual lake effect squalls that have come across from Lake Huron.
04:38There wasn't much snow with them, but still, it adds a bit more to the atmosphere.
04:43Right now, winds still gusty, but it was at the time of the crash that they were even
04:48stronger.
04:49Sustained above 50 kilometres an hour, gusting up to 65.
04:54Still, most aircraft can land in these weather conditions.
05:00Visibility at the time was also 10 kilometres, so it was reduced slightly because of some
05:06surface or near ground blowing snow, and that's been recorded throughout the day today.
05:12Also reports this was on runway 23, which would be right here, and that provides a bit
05:18of a crosswind when you have an east to west wind.
05:21So all of that is going to play a role in the investigation, but it wasn't snowing at
05:25the time.
05:27Visibility yesterday was a lot lower in that snowstorm, and now we do have this new weather
05:32advisory.
05:33There is the potential for more wind and even some snow squalls tonight and tomorrow, and
05:37I know crews are going to be working to clear those runways, and of course, the investigation
05:42is just beginning to find out what really happened with that aircraft.
05:47Colleen.
05:48Global News Meteorologist Anthony Farnell, thanks Anthony.
05:52That plane crash happened right as Ontario and Quebec were digging out of a major snowstorm
05:58with a record amount of snow affecting both provinces in the past couple of days.
06:01Mike Armstrong reports on the unprecedented winter blast and how it's wreaked havoc on
06:06residents.
06:09Montreal took it on the chin.
06:11In fact, sticking with the boxing references, it was a one-two punch.
06:15Sunday's storm came just four days after another major storm, leaving some with the dilemma.
06:21Where to put the snow?
06:22There's nowhere to put it.
06:24I've got nowhere left.
06:27From Saturday night through early Monday morning, the Montreal region got about 40 centimetres.
06:32That's close to what the city usually gets in the entire month of February.
06:36Add to that the 35 centimetres dumped Thursday, and you have an event of historic proportions.
06:42We've never seen in Montreal where we've gone, you know, four days with so much snow.
06:51Montrealers were advised Monday to avoid unnecessary travel and work from home if possible.
06:56Most daycares, elementary schools and high schools were closed.
06:59The city has about 11,000 kilometres of roads to clear.
07:03Before the second storm hit, it had only done about a tenth of that.
07:06Now it's starting over.
07:08For every street, it's going to be longer than usual.
07:12So it's quite a challenge.
07:15The aftermath of Sunday's storm has made driving difficult.
07:19Blowing snow forced the closure of a stretch of highway between Montreal and Ottawa.
07:23It also meant delays and some cancellations at the airports in both cities.
07:27This couple's flight to Florida was cancelled Sunday out of Ottawa.
07:31So they travelled to Montreal desperate to get down before their ship leaves.
07:36It's very stressful because we have no cancellation on the cruise.
07:40And it's crossing the Atlantic, so it's not like we can swim.
07:44In Ontario, people were already off for Family Day, which turned into, for many, Shoveling Day.
07:51Toronto has gotten 71 centimetres over the last week.
07:54That's more than it did all of last winter.
07:57They're digging out in Ottawa as well, trying to take it all in stride.
08:02It's a beautiful sunny day today.
08:03A little chilly, but it's Ottawa, it's winter, it's Canada, so it's all good.
08:08Mike Armstrong, Global News, Montreal.
08:12And millions of Canadians are also dealing with bitter winter weather in other parts of the country.
08:18Canada has issued wind warnings throughout the Atlantic provinces.
08:21Some areas face gusts as strong as 120 to 140 kilometres an hour.
08:27And on the prairies, extreme cold warnings persist over provinces there,
08:31with windchill values as cold as minus 45 degrees or lower.
08:35The conditions have likely spoiled some holiday plans in those provinces.
08:39But today, families were invited to Regina's Government House for annual Family Day gatherings indoors.
08:47I think people love the opportunity to come here with their family
08:50to enjoy a bit of a break from those TV screens
08:56and just be able to get out of the house also on a usually cold, though not this cold, February day.
09:03The typical daytime high in Regina for this time of year is around minus 7.
09:08Freezing temperatures are now expected to ease up by this weekend.
09:13Saskatchewan RCMP say a man suspected in a triple stabbing over the weekend is on the loose.
09:19Within a half-hour Saturday afternoon, officers received reports of three people
09:24who were attacked on Big River First Nation about a couple of hours north of Saskatoon.
09:29The victims were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
09:33RCMP are now hunting for the suspect, 29-year-old Ryan Lachance, who's considered armed and dangerous.
09:40He's also wanted for an unrelated aggravated assault that happened in November of last year.
09:46European leaders held an emergency summit in Paris today to coordinate a response
09:50after the Trump administration sidelined them from taking part in talks to end the war in Ukraine.
09:56Foreign ministers from Russia and the U.S. will meet in Saudi Arabia tomorrow for those high-stakes discussions.
10:02And as Redmond Shannon reports, Ukraine's president says he will not recognize any agreement
10:07without Ukraine having a seat at the table.
10:10Vladimir Zelensky is on a visit to Bami, Abu Dhabi, but Ukraine's president is feeling frozen out
10:17as U.S. and Russian delegations prepare to meet in neighboring Saudi Arabia.
10:23Zelensky said Ukraine was not invited and that his country will not agree to any decision made in its absence.
10:32But the Americans and Russians insist this will be a bilateral meeting only, without any other European involvement.
10:41Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says European powers just want the war to continue,
10:46so have no place at peace talks.
10:49In Paris, an emergency meeting between Europe's military powers as they try to influence what happens next.
10:57The U.S. security guarantee is the only way to effectively deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again.
11:06Last week, the new U.S. Defense Secretary said Ukraine's future security will be Europe's responsibility
11:13and that there will be no American boots on the ground in Ukraine.
11:18German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says the U.S. and Europe must coordinate,
11:24but even European leaders are not all on the same page.
11:28So far, only the U.K. says it would send post-war peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, an idea first proposed by France last year.
11:37That is a watershed moment. It can't be understated how big the deal that is.
11:42It also puts pressure on other European leaders to potentially match the U.K. in this.
11:50Hungary's Kremlin-friendly Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who wasn't at the meeting,
11:55says European powers have missed their chance to bring peace to Ukraine.
12:00Global News has asked Canada's Department of National Defense
12:03whether it is considering being part of a future peacekeeping force in Ukraine,
12:08but so far we have not received a response.
12:11Colleen.
12:12Redmond Shannon in London. Thanks, Redmond.
12:16New drone footage released today by Ukraine's State Emergency Service
12:20shows workers dismantling damaged components and repairing the roof safeguarding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
12:27It follows last week's suspected drone strike on the facility.
12:31Ukraine blames Russia, saying one of its military drones struck the nuclear reactor's protective radiation shell Thursday night,
12:39a claim the Kremlin denies.
12:42Israel says its defense forces will remain in five strategic locations in Lebanon
12:47despite tomorrow's deadline to withdraw under a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah.
12:52Under the U.S.-brokered truce, Israeli troops were given 60 days to pull out of southern Lebanon,
12:58a deadline that was then extended until tomorrow.
13:01Israel's defense forces were positioned in the south, a Hezbollah stronghold,
13:06waging a ground offensive against the proxies' Iran-backed fighters.
13:11Lebanon says Israel must fully withdraw its forces by tomorrow.
13:15Israel's army says soldiers are positioned at vantage points outside Lebanese villages
13:21to provide security as people return to Israel's northern border towns.
13:26In Italy, Pope Francis remains in hospital in Rome, diagnosed with a polymicrobial respiratory tract infection.
13:34The 88-year-old was hospitalized Friday with bronchitis symptoms, forcing him to miss his usual Sunday mass.
13:40The Vatican now says the pope's infection is presenting a complex clinical situation
13:46and his treatment is being changed.
13:49The pope is in fair condition.
13:51There's no timeline for when he'll be discharged from hospital.
13:55Emergency in Kentucky.
13:57Coming up, the submerged communities and the next winter blast people are bracing for.
14:04In Kentucky, at least 11 people are dead after torrential rain caused massive flooding.
14:09More than a month's worth of rain fell on the state over the weekend.
14:13Tens of thousands of people are without power and under boil water advisories.
14:17Jackson Prosko looks at how the emergency has brought the state to a standstill.
14:22The flooding is so widespread, it touches every corner of Kentucky.
14:27It began after soaking rains drenched the state over the weekend.
14:31Rivers started rising and didn't stop.
14:34In the town of Hazard, security cameras captured the moment Main Street was submerged.
14:39Snow plows had to clear the mud left behind.
14:42We had warning that we were going to be flooded.
14:45We just didn't know it was going to be this extensive.
14:48It happened so fast, there was little time to prepare.
14:51A mother and her 7-year-old child were killed when the car they were in was swept away by the floods.
14:56Hundreds of water rescues are still playing out across the state, with many roads flooded and impassable.
15:03Give time for the water to go down.
15:06So many of these fatalities were due to attempts to drive through water and through moving water.
15:13First responders are being pushed to their limits, working for days with little sleep as they respond to non-stop calls for help.
15:20We're still focused on making sure that we're getting people out of harm's way.
15:25That's our main focus at this moment.
15:28The same storm system caused flooding in West Virginia, touched off tornadoes across the South,
15:34and left Kentucky flooded.
15:37The same storm system caused flooding in West Virginia, touched off tornadoes across the South,
15:42and left tens of thousands without power.
15:45Back in Kentucky, there's no sign of relief, as cold rain turns to snow,
15:51with up to 15 centimeters expected to fall in the coming days,
15:55and brutal Arctic air expected to follow, freezing what the floods left behind.
16:01Jackson Prosko, Global News, Washington.
16:05Ahead, protecting the Arctic.
16:07What Canadian military officials say needs to happen as soon as possible.
16:16The shifting American stance on Ukraine and towards allies has put sharp focus on our own security.
16:23U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly called on Canada to spend more on defense.
16:28There are some projects in place, but also some glaring vulnerabilities.
16:32Our Nathaniel Dove looks at Canada's efforts to rearm the Arctic, and whether they'll be enough.
16:39NATO has to play a bigger role also in the protection of the Arctic.
16:43Canada's foreign affairs ministers appeal to shift focus.
16:47China and Russia are working together, and there is now military cooperation and exercises happening in the Arctic,
16:54and we need to do more.
16:56A key requirement is new submarines, and as soon as possible.
17:00A submarine is the ultimate arbiter.
17:02The commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, speaking to Global News, says especially for the Arctic.
17:08It is a region that is under challenge from both a sovereignty and a security point of view.
17:13Canada's Victoria-class submarines, bought nearly three decades ago second-hand from the U.K.,
17:18are near the end of their service life.
17:20They are below the minimum what we require to defend Canada in today's dangerous world of potential return to peer competition.
17:28The Globe and Mail reporting Germany and Norway offered Canada the chance to join their contract
17:33with Germany's ThyssenKrupp Corporation for a dozen of the 212 CD subs,
17:38and that Canada would get early access.
17:41Otherwise, Ottawa's current contract receives a new vessel in 2035.
17:47A naval security expert says the offer is salesmanship.
17:51Clearly what the Germans and Norwegians are trying to do is get ahead of an obvious concern that the Canadians have,
17:57which is that submarine doesn't exist yet.
18:01The Norwegian and German embassies and ThyssenKrupp did not respond to requests for comment.
18:06Canada's need for subs, driven by a more transactional U.S., Lejeunesse says.
18:11Will the United States Navy be there to protect Canada next year or in five years?
18:19And a more uncertain world.
18:22I think there's a real recognition that we are in an interesting moment in the world right now
18:26where there is the potential for a return to peer competition.
18:29Russia's illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has really indicated
18:34that we can't count on nations to follow the rules,
18:38that we have to be prepared to enforce those rules with force and with lives if necessary.
18:42Topshi said the Navy is evaluating all options.
18:45He spoke to Global News from Heathrow Airport because he's flying to Norway on Monday night.
18:51Minister Jolie, meanwhile, is scheduled to have a meeting with NATO's Secretary General on Tuesday.
18:57Nathaniel Dove, Global News.
19:00Next, Canada shooting for redemption at the Four Nations face-off.
19:13The Invictus Games, showcasing veteran athletes from around the world,
19:16wrapped up last night in Vancouver with a rousing display of North American unity.
19:21Quick word to the American team.
19:24Our neighbors, our allies, our friends.
19:31We have stood together for generations,
19:34and Canada and Canadians will never stop fighting for the friendship that unites our two countries.
19:42550 wounded veterans and service personnel from 23 countries
19:46competed in this year's Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler.
19:51At the Four Nations face-off, team Canada bounced back in a big way after its loss to the U.S.
19:57Canada survived a late push from Finland after dominating most of the game, winning 5-3.
20:03It means Canada finishes the round-robin stage of the tournament in second place,
20:07setting up a much-wanted rematch against the U.S.
20:10The final puck drop is in Boston Thursday.
20:13Returning to our top story,
20:15a Delta Airlines flight crashed and overturned on a runway at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
20:21Four crew and 76 passengers, including 22 Canadians, were on board the flight.
20:26Fortunately, there were no fatalities.
20:29Global News will have more details as this story develops tonight.
20:32You can also find the latest on our website, globalnews.ca.
20:37That is Global National for this Monday night.
20:39I'm Colleen Christie. Thanks for watching.
