Pilots of Flight 4819

The backstory:

Delta Connection Flight 4819, from Minneapolis to Toronto, made a hard landing before it lost a wing, burst into flames and flipped onto its roof at Toronto’s airport. Although 21 people were injured, all 80 people on board survived the crash on Monday.

While the crash remains under investigation, Delta Air Lines released a statement Thursday night correcting what it calls "disinformation in social media containing false and misleading assertions about flight crew Endeavor Air 4189."
