Delta is now offering each passenger on the flight $30k “with no strings attached” that “does not affect rights” as initial compensation for the scary ordeal.

Delta Air Lines is offering to pay $30,000 each to passengers on Delta Connection Flight 4819 that crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday afternoon.
The Atlanta-based airline confirmed the amount Wednesday afternoon. Spokesperson Morgan Durrant said in an email the Delta Care Team is telling customers the money is a gesture that comes with “no strings attached and does not impact rights.”
If every one of the 76 passengers took the money, that would stack up to about $2.3 million.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian released a statement saying he’ll do everything in his power to support the passengers and staff on the flight.
“Our most pressing priority remains taking care of all customers and Endeavor crew members who were involved,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said. “We’ll do everything we can to support them and their families in the days ahead, and I know the hearts, thoughts and prayers of the entire Delta community are with them. We are grateful for all the first responders and medical teams who have been caring for them.”
