Landing gear that suddenly collapsed when a Delta plane crash landed in Toronto and rotates upside down is located in the middle of a new study.
Authorities have been given the task of working out what exactly went wrong on 17 February when the passenger plane of Minnesota slid over the asphalt.
A total of 21 out of 76 passengers were taken to the hospital, but were all released – a wonderful outcome for a crash that everyone could have killed on board.
The Transportation Safety Board from Canada has released a preliminary report with the current 'focus areas' of the research and the information that has been collected so far.
Landing techniques offered in pilot training, as well as training for flight attendants are being investigated, together with the landing gear and the wing structure.
Authorities also investigate hutob structures and obstacles in reverse, as well as 'coordination in emergency situations' and 'organizational and management factors'.
The report noted that the aircraft had undergone a right-hand landing gear when the contact made with the runway, because challenging gusts of wind were impeded the efforts to land.
Nine Canadian passengers, including a minor, submitted six separate lawsuits in Minnesota last week to blame the airline for a 'miserable violation' of aviation standards.

The passengers claim that they have sustained 'extreme physical and mental injuries and economic losses' as a result of the crash.
They also claim that the crew was 'insufficiently trained and supervised' during the crisis, so that the procedures are not followed or monitoring flight conditions.
The captain of the plane had worked for 18 years for Endeavor Air, a subsidiary of Delta. He flew a total of 3,570 hours in his career and is also a training instructor.
On the day of the crash he came to his first service of the week. It was also the first flight of the day.
His co-pilot had worked with Endeavour for a little more than a year and had flown an estimated 1,422 hours during her career.
She was on her last service of the week. Both the captain and the first officer are 'qualified and certified for their functions'.
The passengers are looking for a process to determine damage.
Chief researcher Kenster revealed that the aircraft flew within his permissible weight and balance restrictions, so that the question was raised about what went wrong.
During the crash, the right wing of the plane was loose and 'an aircraft fuel cloud' that caught fire.

The interim report states: 'At Touchdown the following took place: the side stay attached to the right MLG broken, the landing gear folded in the withdrawn position, the wing root broke between the hull and the landing gear, and the wing detached from the hull.
'The plane then started sliding along the runway. The hull slipped run Runway 23, rolled to the right until it became the other way around. A large part of the tail, including most of the vertical stabilizer and the entire horizontal stabilizer, became loose during the roll. '

'We are a very competitive industry in the American airlines, but there is one thing we do not compete on, and that is safety. We all work together and we all learn from each other. '
Aerial expert Phyl Durdey told CTV news that, based on the researcher's logs, problems only emerged when the aircraft was about 150 feet away from the asphalt.
“They really approached the ground in very fast speed,” he said.
“When they influenced the ground, it was much further than the structural boundaries of the plane.
“The descent speed has actually increased, so it begs to wonder what was going on in the cockpit.”
The flight data and cockpit speech recorders have been submitted for analysis. The TSB said the audio had caught during both the descent and the landing.
Delta previously offered to pay $ 30,000 to every passenger on board as a gesture of goodwill.
Passengers made a line in the direction of the emergency exits while stewardesses, which encouraged travelers to leave their possessions, helped people crawl out of the fallen aircraft while fire brigade personnel sprayed it with foam
Spokesperson Morgan Durrant of Delta has assured passengers that the payment of $ 30,000 will be supplied with 'no signs and has no influence on the rights'.
If all 76 passengers agree with the money, Delta will spend $ 2.3 million.
Aviation is alone in the first few weeks of 2025 after several large crashes in the first few weeks.
About 67 people died in a collision between a Black Hawk helicopter of the US Army and a passenger jet of the American Airlines.
The causes are still being investigated, but early reports revealed that personnel levels were 'not normal', and that a single controller used the helicopter traffic and traffic at the airport.
Days later, a medical jet crashed in Philadelphia who killed all six people on board.
Then a small plane with 10 crashed over Alaska and everyone killed on board again.
