Emergency crews rushed to the scene, and airport operations were temporarily suspended.
While the cause of the crash is still under investigation, strong winds are suspected to have played a role. Gusts of up to 41 mph were reported at the time, along with snow flurries. Crosswinds can be particularly challenging during landing, as they can push an aircraft off course.
Delta Airlines released a statement expressing concern for those involved and stating that they are working with authorities to investigate the incident.
