Delta Air Crash: New Video Shows The Tragedy In Horrific Detail

Delta Air plane may not have led to any deaths but speculation about just how the accident took place hasn't stopped. When the plane crashed on the runway of Pearson Airport in Toronto on Monday (February 17), it got dragged along the ground, burst into flames and turned turtle. Miraculously, all 80 people onboard including the crew survived but not without injuries.

A new video purportedly showing the crash being shared on social media is showing the tragedy from a closer distance.

Although it was not immediately clear who shot the video, it is quite apparent that it has been shot from inside the cockpit of another commercial plane which got 'front-row seat' to the tragedy. It was not immediately clear if the crew of this aircraft shot the video or it was a passenger.

The video shows the plane approaching the runway in a rapid descent but nothing seems amiss. The rate of descent appears quite normal, at least to an untrained eye. Landing gears appear deployed.

The plane lands and soon its wings appear to drag along the ground creating massive flames possibly due to friction.

The plane turns turtle and soon comes to a halt.
