(Reuters) - A safety warning system was triggered in a Delta Air Lines regional jet just before it landed belly-up at Canada's largest airport in February, indicating a fast rate of descent, the country's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) said on Thursday.

Despite nearly two dozen injured passengers, none of the 80 people died on board flight DL4819, a CRJ900 jet operated by Delta's Endeavor Air subsidiary from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
