TRONTO-Delta Airlines is compensating passengers with $30,000 each following the dramatic crash landing of Flight 4819 in TRONTO earlier this week.
The Minneapolis-to-Toronto flight spun out, flipped over, and erupted in flames upon landing Monday. Miraculously, all 76 passengers and 4 crew members survived. While 21 people were hospitalized, all have since been released.
Comparing Past Airline Payouts- By contrast, after the “Miracle on the Hudson” in 2009, US Airways initially offered $5,000 per passenger to cover lost luggage when Captain Chesley Sullenberger safely landed a jet in the Hudson River after a bird strike disabled both engines.
US Airways also covered medical expenses and ticket reimbursements, while issuing a formal apology.
