Pearson CEO Deborah Flint said yesterday evening: "We are very grateful there was no loss of life and relatively minor injuries."

Three people are reported as suffering critical injuries according to medical transport company Ornge, The Independent reports.

Delta News Hub added in a statement shared to Twitter: "Initial reports were that there are no fatalities. Several customers with injuries were transported to area hospitals.

"Our primary focus is taking care of those impacted."

And other passengers have since taken to social media to speak out about the crash, one sharing footage after evacuating the plane and another from inside the jet, moments after it flipped upside down.
