**Delta Airliner Report Reveals Excessive Descent Before Crash in Toronto**

A new report indicates that a passenger jet from Delta Air Lines was descending at an alarming rate prior to its crash, leading to serious safety concerns.

A preliminary report from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada has shed light on the Delta Air Lines incident that occurred last month when a passenger jet crashed while landing in Toronto, carrying 80 individuals onboard. The findings disclosed that the aircraft was descending rapidly at an excessive rate just before touch down, marking a serious deviation from standard operational procedures.

The report, released by the independent safety agency, revealed that an alarm had sounded moments before landing, indicating a rapid descent. The jet was recorded at a descent rate of 1,100 feet per minute, significantly above the critical threshold of 600 feet per minute which qualifies as a "hard landing" according to Endeavor Air's operations manual, the Delta subsidiary responsible for the flight.

Upon landing, the plane encountered structural failures, including a component detaching from the main landing gear on the right side. Consequently, the aircraft rolled over to the right, during which the right wing broke off, leading to a fire and the jet coming to rest upside down on the runway.

Former U.S. accident investigator Jeff Guzzetti commented on the matter, noting, “It was descending much too fast,” and suggested that such a high rate of descent could have surpassed the design limits of the aircraft's landing gear.

Remarkably, all passengers and crew—76 passengers and four crew members—managed to evacuate safely before an explosion occurred near the left wing post-evacuation. This event raises substantial questions regarding flight safety protocols and operational training for pilots handling such critical landing scenarios.
