The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says it will release a preliminary report Thursday on a crash landing at Toronto’s Pearson airport that sent 21 people to hospital last month.

The Delta Air Lines flight arriving from Minneapolis crashed on Feb. 17, leading to days of travel disruptions at Canada’s busiest airport.

All 76 passengers and four crew members survived when the plane burst into flames after flipping over and skidding on the tarmac.

All of those who were hospitalized were released within days of the crash.

The airline has offered US$30,000 in compensation to passengers, saying the money has “no strings attached.”

At least two lawsuits have been filed in the United States and a law firm in Canada has said that it’s been retained by several passengers.
