An astonishing plane crash left a passenger jet upside down at Toronto Pearson International Airport Monday afternoon, with uninjured passengers helping others jump down from the plane’s overturned ceiling to the snow-covered tarmac.

Three were critically injured, including a child, and transported by air ambulance.

But with no one immediately dead, the crash had an air of impossibility. People who seconds earlier had been hanging by their seatbelts were now outside in minus-9 winds, walking away toward safety, looking back on what they had just survived, filming it on their phones, narrating in their shock.

“First and foremost, there was no loss of life, and this in due part to our heroic and trained professionals, our first responders at the airport,” said Deborah Flint, president and CEO of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, at a Monday night press conference at the airport.

Flint said the flight arrived at about 2:30 p.m.

“Airport emergency workers mounted a textbook response, reaching the site within minutes and quickly evacuating the passengers,” she said.

She said 17 injured passengers were transported to local hospitals, and she said she understands none have critical injuries. She described the injuries as “relatively minor.” The airport’s fire chief, Todd Aitken, later said 18 injured passengers had been sent to local hospitals.

ویسے جو مرتا ہے اسے اللہ تعالیٰ ہی مارتا ہے۔۔ کوئی اور نہیں اسلیے 'یہ کون چکھے' والا محاورہ ٹھیک نہیں لگتا مجھے۔

اسکی جگہ یہ ہونا چاہیے تھا کہ "مارنے اور بچانے والا اللہ تعالیٰ ہی ہے"۔۔

ہمارے کچھ بڑے بھی ماشاء اللہ عقل سے پٹواری تھے لیکن بعد میں آنے والوں نے بھی بغیر سوچے سمجھے وہی غلط باتیں دہرانا شروع کر دی

مثلاً کسی غریب مسکین اور یتیم بارے کہے گے کہ اسکا اللہ تعالیٰ کے سواء کوئی نہیں ۔۔۔ مطبل انکے یہاں نعوذ باللہ اللہ تعالیٰ کے ذات کی کوئی اہمیت ہی نہیں ۔۔۔؟ بچپن میں ہی جب ارد گرد کے لوگوں سے ایسی بات سنتا تو انہیں بھی یہی کہتا کہ اگر جسکے پاس اللہ تعالیٰ کی ذات ہو، اسے کسی دنیاوی سہارے کی کیا ضرورت ؟ اسکے اللہ تعالیٰ کی ذات ہی کافی ہے۔۔
