The Delta Airlines plane crash in Toronto on Monday set off a storm of reactions online, with users speculating on the cause of the accident.

While some sarcastically blamed U.S. President Donald Trump, others pointed to Delta Airlines’ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies or harsh weather conditions as potential factors.

Social media quickly flooded with responses, particularly from Trump supporters who mocked the tendency to blame the president for various crises. “Plane crashes in Canada. Trump’s fault. No thinkers, just reactionaries,” one user posted on X. 

The 78-year-old U.S. president has faced scrutiny following multiple aviation incidents since taking office on January 20. However, aviation experts emphasize that weather conditions in Toronto, including high winds, likely played a significant role in the crash.

Delta Airlines has yet to issue a detailed report on the cause of the accident, but early reports suggest that extreme weather conditions may have been responsible. The incident adds to growing concerns about flight safety as aviation authorities investigate recent crashes.

As debates rage online, the actual cause of the crash remains under investigation, with officials expected to release further details in the coming days.
