New footage of the Toronto plane crash has revealed the moment that Flight 4819 caught fire on the runway of Pearson Airport and flipped over.
In the video, the plane can be seen approaching the runway for touch-down, before sliding off its landing gear and catching fire.
Despite the severity of the crash, none of the eighty passengers were killed in the accident, though some sustained minor injuries. Authorities have not yet identified the reason for the crash.

Passengers aboard the Delta Airlines flight were pulled from the wreckage by emergency services while fires on the plane were still being put out. The hull of the plane remained largely intact, meaning only 17 passengers received injuries from the crash.
John Nelson, one of the evacuated passengers, told reporters that the plane came to a rest on its roof, so passengers on the inside were hanging upside down during the crash.
Weather conditions at the time of the crash were hazardous, with winds at the airport reaching as high as 40 mph and snow on the ground.
Authorities are not sure how this could have influenced the crash, with aviation safety consultant John Cox telling the Associated Press: “The weather conditions were windy. The wind was out of the west at 27 to 35 knots, which is about 38 miles an hour. So it was windy. But the airplanes are designed and certified to handle that. The pilots are trained and experienced to handle that.”
This is the fourth major aviation incident in North America in the past month. The deadliest crash in recent history happened on January 29, when a commercial jetliner and an Army helicopter collided in Washington D.C., killing 67 people.
Two days later, on January 31, a medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia, killing all six onboard and one person on the ground.
This is a developing news story and will be updated with more information.
