NEW: New video emerges showing Delta flight 4819 flipping on the runway as it landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
One survivor said they were all “hanging like bats” after the plane flipped over as all they had holding them in was their seatbelts.
“It was just incredibly fast. There was a giant firewall down the side. I could actually feel the heat through the glass,” said passenger John Nelson.
“Then we were going sideways. I'm not even sure how many times we tumbled, but we ended upside down.”
“We released the seat belts. I kind of fell to the floor, which is now the ceiling, and helped the lady next to me get out of her seat belt.”
All 80 people onboard survived. 18 people are injured.
