A Delta Air Lines plane that flipped over and caught fire while landing in Toronto last month had a high rate of descent, according to a preliminary report. The plane's ground proximity warning system sounded 2.6 seconds before touchdown, with the landing gear retracting upon impact. The wing detached, causing a fuel-fed fire. All 76 passengers and four crew members survived, though some were injured during evacuation. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating the incident.
