It appears the southerly parallel runways @TorontoPearson have reopened, allowing some flights to resume following afternoon crash. Other runways remained closed.

[Delta News Hub @DeltaNewsHub]

Delta is aware of reports of Endeavor Flight 4819 operating from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Toronto-Pearson International Airport as involved in an incident. We are working to confirm any details and will share the most current information on https://t.co/YtfVVPSWKD as soon as it becomes available.

@flying_steve Asiana crash at SFO in 2013. Not a U.S. flag carrier but major crash. Also 2019 runway overrun of a PenAir Saab 2000 in Alaska killing one.

Confused over the funding fight between Toronto city hall and the Trudeau government over refugee services? The Star's @_VictoriaGibson, with help from me and @StephanieLevitz, unpack the dollars and disagreement dominating the city's budget process https://t.co/4Yvr68yyVT

@jasonrosewell Instructors always warned me against pumping the throttle during start because of the risk of fire. Four shots of prime worked every time.

@MikeInTheFront The 152 served you well. She’s has been going strong for years. I’ve logged time in her as well at the BFD.

[Bruce Campion-Smith @yowflier]

Research has shown that such online hate puts women journalists at serious risk of offline abuse and physical attacks. This online targeting needs to be condemned and stopped. https://t.co/Fs1Oi9v2rQ

[Bruce Campion-Smith @yowflier]

This vile behaviour is the sort of misogynistic and racist bullying that women journalists and journalists of colour endure every single day. It's done deliberately to silence their voices.

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

Are you kidding me?

[angelyn francis @angelynsayshi]

A few reporters at the Star have been doing some incredible coverage of Afghanistan.

@amandacconn @globalnews Congrats Amanda. Well-deserved. All the best with the new gig.

Attacks on journalists often go unpunished but gendered attacks on journalists also go unnoticed. In #Canada, our data warned of increasing digital hostilities for over a year. This month, attacks on #woc escalated.
