I'm all for pointing out the competency crisis but frankly I'm leaning towards the pilots being white and managing to expertly avert some kind of freak accident what with the 'nobody died' part. Managing to adequately control an upside down airliner enough to get it to touch down on a runway to begin with I imagine is a Sisyphean task. But then fucking landing it without killing anybody must be on another level.

I think the plane landed upright, and THEN flipped over in a big gust of wind.

Here's the dude this reminds me of:


Plane was coming in during a typhoon with strong crosswinds.

"During the final flare to land, the plane rolled to the right, landed hard on its right main gear and the No. 3 engine touched the runway. The right wing separated from the fuselage. The aircraft continued to roll over and skidded off the runway in flames. When it stopped, it was on its back and the rear of the plane was on fire, coming to rest on a grass area next to the runway, 3,500 feet (1,100 metres) from the runway threshold. The right wing was found on a taxiway 280 feet (85 m) from the nose of the plane. As shown in photos of the aircraft at rest, the fire caused significant damage to the rear section of the aircraft but was quickly extinguished due to the heavy rain and quick response from rescue teams in the airport."

That's a clencher.

315 people on board, 3 died.

Ah yes, clearly listening to the air traffic control and pilot and first responder traffic the cadences of South Asia will have become apparent, saar.

"Do not redeem the runway! There are no bobs and vagene in Toronto! Go around!"

"Saar, my co-pilot is having a sexual emergency! Please to deliver hijra to the runway immediately! We will come in upside down such is the state of his urgency!"

Yeah, it did not land upside down, I don't even think that would be possible. From the report on aviation herald:
An Endeavor Airlines Canadair CRJ-900 on behalf of Delta Airlines, registration N932XJ performing flight DL-4819 from Minneapolis,MN (USA) to Toronto,ON (Canada) with 76 passengers and 4 crew, landed on Toronto's runway 23 at 14:12L (19:12Z) but came to a stop on the runway inverted

People are speculating whether it really was wind shear or a bad landing.

Looks like a hard landing, possibly the wind caught the left side’s wing and lifted it, which forced down the right wing and ripped it off.

Then without that wing as counterbalance, the wind was able to flip the whole damn plane.

Though the runway looks barely cleared as well, I bet ice conditions there didn’t help. Every US airport I’ve flown into where there’s snow uses salt like they’re trying to recreate the salt flats of Utah.

ice wouldn't necessarily be so bad, but if there was any snow on part of it, and the tire touched the snow, it might decelerate much faster than the other side, leading to leaning and tipping.

The plane did not do the needful and land, saar.
