It's upside down."

These were the words of John Nelson, a passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight that had just crashed and flipped while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

All 80 people on board the flight from Minneapolis - 76 passengers and four crew - have survived, the airport's chief executive has said.

Eighteen people were injured but only a small number are thought to be seriously hurt, and investigators are looking into what caused the crash.

"Most people appear to be okay. We're all getting off," Mr Nelson said in a video posted to Facebook soon after the incident.
