Amazon Cargo Pilot Warned It Was Coming in Too Fast

A survivor and his wife are suing Amazon and 21 Air, alleging the Boeing 767 landed too fast and killed five cleaning crew members.

  • On Sunday, a Prime Air Boeing 767-300 cargo jet overran a runway at Miami International Airport, killing five people in a service van and three pilots on board.
  • According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the jet touched down at 181 mph, exceeding the standard 155 mph landing speed, with no deployment of speed brakes or thrust.
  • Survivor Sebastian Perdomo Torres filed a lawsuit Friday against Amazon and operator 21 Air, alleging apparent errors in training and maintenance of the 32-year-old aircraft.
  • NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy called the scene 'utter devastation,' as investigators examine why Miami International Airport lacked an Engineered Materials Arresting System to stop speeding jets.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration reports that 120 U.S. airports use crushable safety material that has saved around 500 lives, though Miami International Airport complies with existing federal buffer rules.
