Angel Reese has reacted to news of Delta Airlines making an offer to the passengers of Flight 4819 following Monday’s crash at the Toronto Pearson International Airport.

The jet was attempting to land during extreme winds and was also faced with a snowy tarmac upon impact. It appeared to hit the ground way too fast before flipping over and skidding across the icy surface, belching a massive fireball.
The incident left passengers all hanging from their seats, but no one was killed.
All 76 passengers and four crew members were accounted for, but 21 persons reportedly suffered injuries and were hospitalized.

Delta has since made an offer of $30,000 to every passenger on the flight, confirming as much to ABC News. But the number didn’t sit well with folks on social media, who feel it’s way too low.
Reese, a rising star in the WNBA and one of the most popular basketball players in America, was among those who shared negative reactions.
“Wait, that’s it? YEAH NO,” she wrote in a tweet.

Delta made sure to state that there would be no strings attached to the $30K. Should all of the 76 passengers accept the offer, it would amount to a $2.3 million payout. But, should the ongoing investigation discover there was negligence or mechanical failures on the airline’s part, they could get hit with litigation.
Meanwhile, Delta CEO Ed Bastian has defended the pilots in question, as well as the safety protocols they undertook.
He reassured travelers that Delta flights, including those manned by regional subsidiaries, have a single level of safety.
