Pilots considered aborting landing after touchdown in Miami cargo crash, NTSB says
Flight data suggest the crew considered a go-around after touchdown as the cargo jet overran the runway and killed five people on the ground.
- An Amazon Air Boeing 767 cargo plane overran the runway at Miami International Airport on September 6, crashing into vehicles and killing five people inside a van, while both pilots survived with minor injuries and were interviewed by NTSB investigators.
- Flight data indicated the plane attempted to abort an unstable landing with a brief go-around before the pilots pulled throttles to idle and the aircraft skidded 1,300 feet past the runway without deploying thrust reversers or speed brakes.
- Cockpit voice recordings revealed one pilot repeatedly warned about excessive speed approaching the runway but received no consistent verbal response, and the plane touched down far down the runway reducing stopping distance.
- A wrongful death lawsuit alleges pilot error, inadequate training, and use of an aging aircraft, citing a series of failures by the pilots, operators, and aircraft systems contributing to the crash.
