We don’t yet know what caused the hard landing of the Delta Air lines flight that wound up upside down with its wings torn away in Toronto, but it appears that social media has been putting in work to find the pilots.
The plane struck the landing strip as it arrived at Toronto Airport, but video showed the CRJ-900 aircraft catching fire when it hit the pavement and proceeding to turn sideways while sliding across the runway.
It has been some time, and we still do not know the identities of the pilot or pilots of that plane.
Unconfirmed reports online are now suggesting that 26-year-old Kendal Michelle Swanson was the main pilot or one of the pilots of the Delta Air Lines plane that crashed and flipped upside down at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The pilot who landed the plane upside down at the Toronto Pearson Airport is a 26 year old female who just got certified as an Airline transport pilot last month

Delta Air Lines Offers Cash to Passengers After Crash

Delta Air Lines Flight 4819 flipped over upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, but luckily, 76 passengers hanging upside down from their seatbelts made it out alive.
Now, the company is trying to make things right.
The company is offering them $30,000 each. If all passengers accept the offer, the airline will pay out approximately $2.3 million in total.
Passengers who accept Delta’s payment should receive the money shortly after agreeing.
