(TheConservativeTimes.org) – In a desperate attempt to wipe the slate clean, Delta Air Lines is seemingly trying to buy the silence of each passenger involved in a terrifying Toronto crash landing with a $30,000 offer.
The payout comes after a Delta flight flipped upside down while attempting to land at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, leaving passengers hanging by their seatbelts and fearing for their lives.
The incident occurred when Delta Flight 1092, operated by regional subsidiary Endeavor Air, departed from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
The Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft experienced a catastrophic landing, causing the right wing to strike the ground and the plane to flip upside down.
The crash resulted in severe structural damage, including the loss of both wings and the tail section. Additionally, both flames and smoke were seen coming out of the wreckage.
Miraculously, all 80 passengers and crew members survived the harrowing ordeal.
Initially, 21 individuals were hospitalized, but only one remains under medical care as of today.
The survival of all on board is nothing short of a miracle, given the extent of the damage to the aircraft.
Delta Air Lines has been quick to respond to the incident, offering $30,000 in compensation to each passenger aboard the ill-fated flight.
According to Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant, this payment is described as a “good-faith gesture” and comes with “no strings attached.”
However, the amount has been blasted as insufficient, considering the highly traumatic experience the victims had to endure.
Even though Delta’s action may appear commendable on the surface, it also raised questions about the airline’s motives.
Many are wondering whether this is a compensation package part of an act of corporate responsibility or a calculated move to avoid potential lawsuits and negative publicity.
The fact that the payment does not affect passengers’ legal rights suggests that Delta may be bracing for a wave of litigation.
The crash happened amid gusty winds blowing snow at 40 mph during the landing attempt. This raises concerns about the decision to attempt a landing in such treacherous conditions.
Currently, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) is investigating the crash with support from U.S. aviation regulators, but the true cause remains unclear.
While Greater Toronto Airports Authority CEO Deborah Flint expressed gratitude for the lack of fatalities, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of air travel.
It also highlights the need for stricter safety protocols and better decision-making processes when it comes to operating flights in hazardous weather conditions.
As the investigation unfolds, passengers and the public alike will be watching closely to see if Delta’s $30,000 gesture is truly about caring for their customers or simply a strategic move to protect their bottom line.
In the meantime, this incident serves as a wake-up call for all airlines to prioritize passenger safety over profits and ensure proper precautions are taken during challenging weather conditions.
