The plane crash at Toronto's Pearson International Airport on Monday resulted in no fatalities largely due to the quick response of flight attendants and emergency responders, as well as advanced firefighting equipment. Aviation expert John Gradek highlighted the incident as miraculous, given the total destruction seen in other crashes. While 21 people were injured, the absence of life-threatening injuries was noted positively by airport officials. An investigation by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada is ongoing, with the wrecked aircraft remaining on the runway.
"Everybody walked away, and to me, that is a miracle on that airplane. That is a credit to the firefighting team at Toronto Pearson, the pilots and the aircraft manufacturer."
"This was a good news story... I have seen lots of crashes result in total destruction. In this case, the number of injured now stands at 21, with injuries ranging from minor to critical."
"The airport is grateful that there was no loss of life or life-threatening injuries suffered by anyone on the plane in the accident."
