And now footage has been published on social media which shows passengers leaving the plane.
In a post on Reddit, one user shared the clip of the aircraft on the runway.
All 76 passengers and four crew that were on board survived the crash, with 18 people being taken to hospital.
Other users took to the Reddit comment section to share their reactions to the footage that was captured.
One person wrote: “As bad as this is, the fact the fuselage held up and everyone was able to get out alive speaks volumes to the engineering of the aircraft.”
Another said: “If no one is hurt, pretty clear reminder why it's important to wear a seat belt on a plane.”
A third user commented: “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.”
This sparked a reply from a fourth person who wrote: “‘Great landing, guys!’
“Usually I like walking on the floor to exit the plane, but hey… ceiling is good too, I suppose. Good landing, gents.”
And a fifth added: “I’m gonna have to start clapping when my plane lands now; since it’s apparently an achievement.”
Speaking to The Associated Press, John Cox, who is the CEO of aviation safety consulting firm Safety Operating Systems in St Petersburg, Florida, said: “We’ve seen a couple of cases of takeoffs where airplanes have ended up inverted, but it’s pretty rare.”
Deborah Flint, who is the CEO of Greater Toronto Airports Authority, spoke in a press conference where she said the people on board the crashed plane had ‘relatively minor injuries’.
She continued: “17 injured passengers were taken to local area hospitals. At this time, we do not know of any of those passengers having critical injuries.
“No airport CEO wants to have these types of press conferences but this is exactly what our emergency, our operations and our first responders are all practised and trained for,” she added.
“And again, this outcome is due in part to their heroic work and I thank them profusely.”
An 18th passenger has been taken to hospital since this news conference was held.
Ontario-based air ambulance service Ornge has also since revealed that a child, a man in his 60s and a woman in her 40s, are all critically injured.
