Released video shows the exact moment of the impact of Delta Connection flight 4819 in Toronto.

So the winds were strong like 30 mph and coming in at his left side, pilots have to turn the nose into the wind and let it push the plane back straight, almost flying sideways, and the wind got up under his left wing and flipped it, this video will really help investigators. Looks like he bounced on landing and then flipped.
 
19 people injured with 3 in critical condition.

Did you watch the video?

The wings did not move UNTIL after the pilot slammed the landing. Looks like one of the main gears gave way and then the plane turned over.

That was a very hard landing. The pilot may have put it down that hard because of the crosswind and gusting, but clearly, he overstressed the aircraft.
 
It kind of looked like he was coming in hot as well. There is no autothrottle on a CRJ.
 
They're lucky that they lost so much fuel after that impact to the engine and that it all ended up trailing behind them down the runway. Otherwise it'd have ben a whole different situation.
