Passengers onboard a Delta jet that crashed and flipped over in Toronto were offered $30,000 each as compensation for the terrifying ordeal they experienced. The incident occurred on August 9th, when the plane skidded off the runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport during a storm.
The flight, which originated in Atlanta, Georgia, was carrying 82 passengers and crew members. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the incident left many passengers shaken and traumatized.
In the aftermath of the crash, Delta Air Lines offered each passenger $30,000 as compensation for the ordeal they had endured. The airline also provided hotel accommodations and meals for the passengers while they waited for alternative travel arrangements to be made.
The compensation offer was met with mixed reactions from the passengers. Some felt that the amount was fair given the circumstances, while others felt that it was insufficient considering the trauma they had experienced. One passenger, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “I appreciate Delta’s gesture, but no amount of money can make up for the fear and anxiety we went through during the crash.”
Despite the differing opinions on the compensation offer, Delta Air Lines has stated that they are committed to the safety and well-being of their passengers and will continue to work with them to address any concerns they may have.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is currently investigating the cause of the crash, and Delta Air Lines has stated that they will cooperate fully with the investigation. In the meantime, the passengers who were onboard the flight are left to process the traumatic experience and determine the best way to move forward.
Overall, the incident serves as a reminder of the risks involved in air travel and the importance of airline safety protocols. While the passengers may eventually receive compensation for their ordeal, the emotional impact of the crash is something that cannot be easily quantified.
