'A big fireball': Passengers recount scenes from Delta plane crash

Less than three weeks after a collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and a passenger jet killed all 67 people aboard the two aircraft, another harrowing accident occurred when a Delta  (DAL)  plane landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

While all of the 80 people aboard the plane were evacuated without life-threatening injuries, dramatic images of an upside-down Bombardier CRJ900  (BDRAF)  plane elicited shock and distress at a time when aviation safety is under a spotlight from both regulators and citizens.
