A Delta passenger plane crash landed at an airport in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and wound up upside down. The plane also caught fire. Luckily, only a few injuries were reported, although a small child is in critical condition. No deaths were reported. As of the writing of this article, it is unclear what caused the perplexing crash. One would assume that inclement weather played a role as the entire runway was coated with snow and probably ice.
The mainstream media in the United States did not waste time in trying to link this incident to cuts from the Trump administration targeting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). However, the FAA has no jurisdiction in Canada which is where the crash took place. Furthermore, none of these media outlets say how cuts at the FAA could contribute to such a random crash. Also, legacy media were forced to admit that there are no reported cuts at Air Traffic Control, although there are cuts being reported at other groups under the FAA umbrella.
