While Delta's payout is an act of goodwill, the airline could be on the hook for further damages if passengers choose to sue for more compensation.

One passenger said he was “drenched with jet fuel” as the planed rolled upside down and another claimed the crash occurred due to the flight crew’s "inadequate training," according to the lawsuits.

Passengers aboard the Delta Air Lines plane that flipped onto its back after crash-landing in Toronto recalled the frightening incident.
