  • Emergency teams are responding to a plane crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport
  • The airport says it is aware of an incident involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis and all passengers and crew are accounted for
  • Ontario's air ambulance service says three people are critically injured
  • Police say circumstances surrounding the crash are currently
 
I'm no expert, and the video wasn't very good quality, but it appeared to me that the right side landing gear collapsed. causing the whole aircraft to roll over.

Im no expert either, and that was the 1st thing that came to my mind also. The only other possible explanation I can think of is that the plane landed off the centerline, and the right side ended up off the runway into a grass area. Which may or may not have the same effect.
 
A tip o da helmet to the ARFF crews who did a stellar job making sure they held fire at bay until all passengers got off the aircraft and then they performed a primary search. Looks like excellent ARFF rig setup positions as well.
 
In air crashes the most important thing regular structural firefighters and all firefighters, is to place large handlines or us large caliber stream to protect the exit pathways and give the aircraft occupant more time to escape. Look anywhere the occupants are escaping from and keep fire out of their paths to safety. Foam is great but it takes too much time to set foam operations with structural firefighting equipment. Some people escaping the aircraft fall, so be careful approaching with apparatus, so you don't accidently run them over. This has happened in the past. At aircraft accidents and other odd operations, the Command Post should be designagted Exposure "1" or "A" as a reference point for giving orders for apparatus placement. Here is a photo of a Delta Airline Crash at LaGuardia Airport. Note multiple people escaping from multiple locations, on both sides of the aircraft, and in this case no FIRE thank God.
