What happened and who were the pilots of the Endeavor Regional jet that crashed on landing in Toronto? On February 17th, Delta flight 4819, operated by their regional carrier Endeavor, a CRJ 900 carrying 76 passengers and four crew, broke apart on landing. Miraculously, no one was killed. Bombardier, a Canadian aircraft company, makes that plane.
Right after the incident happened, I posted this on Facebook with this video.

Most people agreed with my initial assessment (including pilots and Air Traffic Control (ATC) engineers) but there was a ton of hysteria on social media over air travel (many said I’m never flying again!) and DEI hiring (many claimed the pilot was a transgender or whatever other nonsense they could come up with.)
One of my good friends - who is an airplane engineer who travels all over the world for the major carriers - sent me a video this morning that explained more detail. Here are the main points from the video with my explanation of terms in [brackets]:
VIDEO: The airport was reporting winds from 270 (due West) at 23 knots, gusting to 33. The runway was Runway 23 in this case [which runs from southwest to northeast.] The temperature was 18 degrees F, visibility was good and the runway was allegedly in “good condition” with a light covering of snow.
The tower told the pilots that they might get a “slight bump” or interference in the ILS signal because a private Learjet was holding short of Runway 23. [An ILS signal is a radio signal that helps pilots land by providing vertical and horizontal guidance when visibility is poor.]
The pilots in the Learjet allegedly took the close-up video of the landing.
[My question is - who owned the Learjet and were there any problems with the CRJ900’s instrumentation jamming due to the position of the Learjet - did the Learjet interfere with the ILS signal? Remember that the crash in DC also had ‘instrumentation’ issues leading to inaccurate and disparate recordings from the altimeter. I wrote about that. In other words, are there people using DEWs or EMPs to mess with instrumentation at landing to tamper with or destroy our airline industry? Read my report on the DC crash and ask the question.]
VIDEO: As you come in to land with this kind of wind, you dip the wing into the crosswind - in this case the right wing - and add a little bit of left rudder to stay straight. But, as the CRJ comes down there’s no “flare” - the plane hits the right main landing gear first, it buckles and the right wing snaps off and catches fire. Fuel is kept in the wings.
[In flying, a "flare" refers to the final maneuver just before landing where a pilot gently raises the nose of the aircraft to significantly slow down the descent rate, allowing for a smooth touchdown on the runway; essentially, it's the transition from the final approach to landing by increasing the aircraft's pitch angle and reducing power, creating more lift and a softer landing.]
VIDEO: The left wing is still generating lift.
[What is lift? When a wing "generates lift," it means that due to its shape and angle, it creates a difference in air pressure between the top and bottom surfaces, with lower pressure on top, which results in an upward force that pushes the wing (and the airplane) upwards, allowing it to stay airborne.]
The lift causes the airplane to rotate, snapping the tail off - and continuing the roll until the plane is inverted. The fuselage and the left wing slide down the runway out of the fire. The left wing did not come off. The people were evacuated quickly from the ceiling of the plane.
Delta has announced they're going to pay all 80 people on board, that's the 76 passengers, the two pilots and the two flight attendants, $30,000 each totaling $2.3 million and that's regardless of anyone filing a lawsuit, which has already started.
All passengers that were injured have now been released from the hospital.
GROK: Delta confirmed the crew consisted of a male captain and a female first officer, both FAA-certified.
VIDEO: The two pilots were allegedly Captain James Gregory Henneman and first officer Kendall Swanson. The Captain has been flying for Endeavor for 11 years and the First Officer, 26, had just received her pilot certificate 6 weeks prior. Both were graduates of the University of North Dakota.
The Captain was previously hired in October 2007 by Mesaba Airlines, a predecessor to Endeavor Air, giving him over 17 years of experience by the time of the incident. The first officer was hired by Endeavor Air in January 2024, completed her training in April 2024, and has been flying with the airline since then.
Okay, so that’s the video and a summary of what we know. All the rest is noise for clicks and ratings.
In the meantime, grifters on social media are trying to blame the Trump administration or DEI or whatever - and trying to scare people into not flying at all. We’ve seen this movie before.
DELTA'S CEO WENT ON CBS TO DEFEND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND THEIR PLANS TO FIX THE ATC SYSTEM, THE FAA AND AVIATION INDUSTRY - SO CHEW ON THIS. DELTA IS NOT HIDING ANYTHING THAT I CAN TELL:
Delta CEO Ed Bastian left CBS's Gayle King in a state of shock after he defended the Trump administration's planned changes to the FAA:
"Their staff cuts do not affect us. I've been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy. The reality is there's over 50,000 people that work at the FAA. And the cuts, I understand, were 300 people, and they were in non-critical safety functions.
The Trump administration has committed to investing deeply in terms of improving the overall technologies that are used in the air traffic control systems and modernizing the skies. They've committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators, and safety and investigators. So no, I'm not concerned with that at all."
HE SAYS TEAM BIDEN IS TRYING TO BLAME TRUMP'S STAFF CUTS FOR THE LAST FEW CRASHES BUT THERE'S ONLY BEEN 300 PEOPLE CUT OUT OF 50,000 SO THAT'S A LIE.
The truth is that airline accidents (fatal and non-fatal) are WAY DOWN.
The data proves that. All the hyperbole that the fake news is pushing around this is designed to do one thing - hurt Trump and fuel hysteria. Even Murdoch’s news organizations are trying to blame Trump for crashes. Why would they do that?
IMHO, they want to take down Boeing and they want people to stop flying and stay home. Just like they did during COVID. You have no idea how many people have sent me emails declaring they are NEVER FLYING AGAIN because of ALL the recent crashes. In other words, they are being frightened to death based on fake stats and hysteria.
All the pundits pushing DEI in the cockpit and crash hysteria also told us the helo pilot in DC was trans and then a woman, but it was a man in charge as the instructor pilot.
That's why I don't believe anything until I examine all the evidence. All this speculation on X and airline crash hysteria is done for clicks and cash.
Direct from the Trump administration:
SEAN DUFFY: There's a growing media narrative that there are more airplane crashes now in Trump's presidency than under Biden. This is false.
Here are the facts: In Biden's first month, there were 57 aviation incidents in the U.S., compared to 35 under Trump.
The need for immediate improvement to our safety infrastructure is long overdue.
The tragic American Airlines crash was a heartbreaking wake-up call that improvements must be made. This is why I've enlisted the brightest minds, including SpaceX engineers, to help upgrade our aviation system. I am fully committed to transportation excellence, as well as transparency and honesty with the public.
All the hysteria from the media over air travel is by design. They want us to stop flying just like during COVID. Easter is coming. Watch & see. They love to stoke fear.
SCOTT ATLAS: “In August 2020, Fauci sat across from me in the COVID task force and said, "One of the biggest problems is that the American public is not afraid enough."
Why would the Globalists want to make us afraid of flying and how would they do that? Have you heard of JET ZERO 2050?
You've all heard of NET ZERO, Project 2030 and 15-Minute Cities, right? That's the WEF plan to stack people on top of each other, ban gas-powered automobiles, mandate bikes and walking and make everybody use their digital ID to leave the city? Like Communist China basically does. Remember the COVID passport? That was their first step toward total control.
When airplane traffic went way down during COVID, the globalists got so excited about emission reduction that they came up with JET ZERO 2050.
They also found out that their climate change schtick wasn’t working anymore, nobody really likes electric cars and they aren’t afraid of COVID anymore - so now they need to shut down air traffic and make us afraid to fly!
Meaning, the goal is to completely end airplane travel except for a wealthy few. That means no flying for me and YOU! You have to stay home and you'll like it!
I can't prove this but one possible reason for all the sudden weird "malfunctions" in airplanes could be due to competition between companies for Government contracts in aerospace and defense. They are using DEWs and EMPs to go after their competition.
In other words, certain companies (foreign and domestic) could be covertly sabotaging their competitors to make them less desirable or to knock them out of the running for consideration. Tactics like this have been going on since the beginning of time so don't tell me it's not possible. Do I know who would be most likely to do this? No, I don't. In other words, it COULD be an inside job.
Here's what GROK said about who all the players involved in these decisions are:
Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Northrup, Raytheon.
These folks are BIG PLAYERS in the NWO. Sabotage of them likely involves much much more than just stock manipulation and the collateral damage can be huge.
GROK: Despite Boeing's historical dominance, especially in the U.S., recent challenges (like issues with the 737 MAX) have opened opportunities for competitors to bash Boeing and gain leverage. Boeing has faced recent competition from Lockheed Martin for fighter jet contracts and from Northrop Grumman in space and bomber contracts. Boeing is also competing against the company Sikorsky that manufactures Blackhawk helicopters.
PS: I didn't get this idea from anybody nor can I prove it. It just came to me as a possibility.
That’s all I have for now on the latest crash but I hope I’ve given you food for thought and a way to frame all the information coming at us from all sides.
Somebody asked me the other day which connections I have in the Trump organization to get my information. NONE. I know no one in the Trump organization and never have. I don't even know people in the media or local politics.
I draw my conclusions for my newsletters by reading hundreds of articles, documents & historical records every day - and trying to filter the truth from the lies. I connect dots from the public record and use common sense and God-given discernment. It takes lots of time - but that's how I do it.
If I had some 'source' - it would be lots easier - but I don't. I have the same sources you do.
If someone tells you they have insiders within the administration - and that's how they get their "scoops" - I would bet the farm that they are lying. They just make stuff up because they know you can never prove them wrong.
I don't think of myself as a reporter - I am a news aggregator, BS detector, dot connector and truth seeker. Anybody can report the news - or whip people into a frenzy by scaring them half to death every day with inflammatory rhetoric or "what if" scenarios that they MAKE UP - but very few can put it all into perspective and decipher what it really means for you and me.
That's my goal and I hope it's yours too.
Remember when the naysayers said Trump would never be President and then "they" said that he would never get his Cabinet?
Well, they were wrong. It's only been a month since inauguration day and it's done.
I've never been a big believer in the famous "they" family.
