Delta Air Lines is stepping up in the wake of a terrifying plane crash in Canada, offering a staggering $30,000 to each passenger who survived the harrowing ordeal.
The dramatic accident unfolded on Monday when Delta Flight 4819, traveling from Minneapolis to Toronto, crashed upon landing, sending the aircraft spinning before flipping over in a fiery explosion. Miraculously, all 76 passengers made it out alive, though 21 individuals… out of the 80 people onboard, including four crew members… were hospitalized. Fortunately, all have since been discharged.
In a statement released Wednesday, Delta executives assured passengers that the generous payout comes with no conditions… meaning recipients can still pursue legal action if they choose. With a potential total payout of $2.2 million, the airline appears to be taking swift action to compensate survivors before lawsuits begin to roll in.
This unprecedented move has sparked discussions about corporate responsibility in crisis situations. Will this goodwill gesture be enough to keep legal battles at bay? Stay tuned as the story unfolds.
