A survivor of the Delta Air Lines crash in Toronto shared a terrifying image taken just moments after the plane crash landed.

The Delta Flight 4819 had departed from the US city of Minneapolis and was bound for the Canadian city, where it crash landed on the runway. It has since been confirmed that all 76 passengers and 4 crew members were safely evacuated from the plane — 18 of whom were hospitalised for their injuries.

Delta has since issued an update on the incident on their website, confirming that all injured passengers have since been discharged from hospital.

"Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis. Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for," the airport said in a statement confirming the crash.

Footage showing the terrifying aftermath of the crash has since appeared across social media, with one passenger sharing a photo of herself inside the upside down cabin. Watch the clip below:

Taking to Snapchat, user Ashley Zook shared several videos from the aftermath, including one where she was strapped into her seat seemingly upside down.

"I was just in a plane crash. Oh my god," she can be heard saying in the clip.

Passenger John Nelson also shared footage from the aftermath to his Facebook account, which showed passengers walking away from the plane as it was sprayed down with foam.

"Most people are going to be okay, we're all getting off, there's some smoke going on," he can be heard saying in the video, adding in the caption that he was 'ok' after the incident.

It's currently unclear what caused the flight to crash, however footage captured by surviving passengers shows the aircraft missing one of its wings.

"The hearts of the entire global Delta family are with those affected by today’s incident at Toronto-Pearson International Airport," said Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in a statement.

"I want to express my thanks to the many Delta and Endeavor team members and the first responders on site. We are working to confirm the details and will share the most current information as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, please take care and stay safe."

"We are very grateful there was no loss of life and relatively minor injuries," added Deborah Flint of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (via BBC).

An investigation is currently underway, led by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

"The NTSB is leading a team of U.S. investigators to assist the Transportation Safety Board of Canada with their investigation of today’s accident of a Delta Air Lines Bombardier CRJ900 at Toronto Pearson International Airport," the US Federal Aviation Administration added.

"Per international protocols under the International Civil Aviation Organisation's Annex 13, any information about the investigation will be released by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada."

The crash comes just a under a month after the deadliest US aviation crash since the September 2001 attacks, when a passenger jet collided mid-air with a military helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington DC.
