Pete Carlson was on a Delta flight that crashed upon landing in Toronto, resulting in 18 injuries. As the plane flipped upside down, Carlson, who was en route for a paramedics conference, sprang into action, using his training to help other injured passengers. He described the scene as surreal, emphasizing the quick and effective response from emergency services who triaged and assisted those affected. Despite the impact and chaos, he expressed gratitude for being alive and the solidarity among passengers during the crisis.
"Everything just kind of went sideways. One minute you're landing, and the next minute you're physically upside down. It's really amazing that I'm alive."
"They quickly put those of us that were injured...onto a single bus, moved us a safe distance away...and started to triage and really assess people's severity of injury."
