So far, authorities have not revealed how the accident happened, or how the plane ended up flipping with its wings clipped.

The CCTV footage, reportedly from Toronto Pearson International Airport, shows the crash-landing of a Delta Air Lines CRJ-900LR. However, it doesn't provide much clarity as the plane is seen from quite afar.

Pre-existing trouble at the airport

Pearson Airport reported earlier Monday that it was coping with strong winds and freezing temperatures after Saturday's snowstorm that dumped more than 22 cm (8.6 inches) of snow at the airport. The airlines tried to make up for missing flights.

On Sunday, a huge snowstorm struck eastern Canada. Airlines added flights Monday to compensate for weekend cancellations due to the storm, but the city of Toronto was still experiencing bone-chilling cold and strong winds.
