Delta Air Lines plane flips during landing at Toronto airport

MyNote - Crosswind was not the issue....

Bombardier CRJ-900s, the type of plane involved in the crash, are
built to withstand crosswinds of 35 knots, Schirard told CNN. The
crosswinds that hit the plane at a 45-degree angle were only around 23
or 24 knots, he said.

Schirard said these winds, despite being within the plane's limit, may
have still played a role when coupled with the snow and ice on the
runway.

"[The crosswind] is within those demonstrated components. And the
pilots knew that coming in," he told CNN. "Now...that doesn't make it
easy landing."

"When they're coming in and they're trying to land in that crosswind,
and then we couple that with the snow and the ice...If they hit a
solid patch of compressed snow, ice on that runway, coupled with a
strong dressing crosswind, it could absolutely load them off the side
of the runway," he continued.
