A U.S.-based consultant says gusty winds and possible mechanical issues may have contributed to the Delta Air Lines crash.

Kit Darby says a combination of factors may have caused the plane's right wing tip to hit the ground, setting off the flip to its roof.

The crash of Delta flight 4819 from Minneapolis to Toronto at Canada 's busiest airport left 21 people injured.
