Federal Report Says Pilots Weren't Warned About Wind Before Amazon Cargo Plane Crashed in Miami
The 12-page report says the jet touched down 3,750 feet past the runway threshold and hit 160 knots before overrunning the pavement.
- The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report Thursday detailing the Sept. 6 crash of an Amazon cargo plane at Miami International Airport, where a Boeing 767 overran the runway, killing five people.
- Despite Federal regulations requiring wind advisories, an air traffic controller failed to report potential tailwinds to the Amazon cargo plane before clearing it for landing, though the controller had issued warnings to other flights.
- Flight data shows the Boeing 767 touched down at about 184 mph with speed brakes stowed and thrust reversers failing to deploy; one pilot never gave "a consistent verbal response" to speed warnings.
- Five workers in a van died and five others were injured, including an SUV driver; a survivor was "flung into the air" and suffered fractures, prompting a lawsuit filed Friday.
- Amazon suspended its partnership with the carrier following the crash, while Federal investigators stress the ongoing investigation into the 32-year-old plane's performance and the circumstances surrounding its landing sequence.
