I have watched the Toronto crash a dozen times and it appears that the aircraft was not in trim.

If the aircraft is out of trim, main control surface movements will be required to have the aircraft fly straight and level.

The right wheel, at roll out, appeared to touch first, the tire bursting and the landing gear collapsing causing the right side wing to dip and hit the runway, causing the aircraft to flip over, The resulting sparks caused the fire.

This will all be determined by the NTSB with their personnel who are the best in the world.

A F18 pilot said the maximum rate of descent for a F18 carrier landing is 800 feet per minute. The Delia plane was descending at 1100 feet per minute. That hard landing cause the landing gear to collapse and cause the crash..

This is going to be pilot error for sure.

The landing was not hot or long, it was right at the ILS Glideslope but it appeared that the trim was not right. The right landing gear hit first putting all of the aircraft weight on that one tire.

I agree, probably pilot error...bad news for Delta.
 
DALLAS — On February 17, 2025, a Delta Connection flight operated by Endeavor Air (9E)—a Bombardier CRJ900—made a hard and ultimately overturned landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

Flight radar data captured during the final moments of the approach revealed an unusually high vertical speed. Descent rates were recorded at around –1,000 feet per minute, compared to more typical figures between –500 and –800 fpm for this aircraft type, the latter fpm usually required to maintain a 3.3° glide slope.

The last data point from various flight tracking services showed a descent rate of approximately –1,024 fpm just before touchdown.

Pilot error.

Contributing factors...crosswinds and surface condition.
