The Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis skidded along the runway with flames visible and it came to a halt upside down as firefighters came to the rescue.

Survivors said they were suspended upside down in their seats and had to release themselves, dropping on to the ceiling before clambering out on to the snow-covered tarmac.

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

There were 76 passengers and four crew on board the 16-year-old CRJ900 aircraft, made by Canada's Bombardier company.
