This was a Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis to Toronto Pearson Airport. The jet had flown from Cleveland to Minneapolis earlier in the day and was scheduled to return

to Minneapolis in the evening, but clearly now that won't be possible. Air traffic control audio posted online described this as a crash landing. It's not clear what led to this, but pictures from the scene show snow on the ground with people nearby appearing to take cover from heavy wind. Thomas Daigle, CBC News, Mississauga, Ontario. The City of Toronto is still digging out from those snow storms. Director of Transportation, Operations and Maintenance Vincent Sparazza

says the cleanup efforts could take up to three weeks. Plowing snow on a one kilometer, one kilometer local residential road takes approximately five to ten minutes. And that's a vehicle traveling about 15 kilometers an hour. Snow removal on that same kilometer of road can take up to ten hours. Quebec is also dealing with its second major snowstorm in just a few days, and snow removal operations are struggling to keep up. In less than five days, almost 40% of all the snow we're usually getting in the winter. Montreal spokesperson Philippe Sabarin says nearly 50% of the sidewalks are still buried.

Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni said the 88-year-old Catholic leader is in good spirits, though Italians and tourists today express concern. We lit a candle for him yesterday in church before we travelled to Rome. I hope that he's getting really good care. We wish him a quick recovery so he can get back to leading the church.
