I've just arrived a Toronto Pearson International Airport’s Terminal 3, where Delta Airlines flies out from.The departures and arrivals halls are both filled with people whose flights were just delayed or cancelled.

Some passengers tell me that they are now stuck in Toronto for several days, with no flights out tonight or tomorrow available. The departures monitor is covered with a bulletin that reads: “Due to operational reasons expect delays.”

James and Andrea Turner from the Toronto area tell me that they were scheduled to take a Delta flight out tonight - the same one that had crashed on the runway.

They say they were in customs - located right before the gates - when they were suddenly asked to evacuate. “They got rid of everybody from customs to security, and then put everybody back to the general area,” James tells me, adding the departures hall was packed as a result.

Their flight has since been cancelled. It is the third delay to their trip, as their flight had been rescheduled twice already due to bad weather.

But the Turners aren’t stressed. The most important thing, they say, is that the crash was not fatal. “The good news is we were told nobody had died, and that is the most important thing.”
