A Pilot of the Amazon Cargo Plane in Miami Crash Warned It Was Coming in Too Fast
Cockpit recordings show a pilot repeatedly warning the crew they were too fast before the Amazon cargo plane overran the runway.
- On Wednesday, the National Transportation Safety Board released cockpit voice recordings revealing one pilot repeatedly warned their counterpart about excessive speed for nearly two minutes before the Amazon cargo plane crashed in Miami on Sept. 6, killing five people.
- Strong winds and an unstable approach forced the Boeing 767 to touch down halfway down the 9,360-foot runway, leaving insufficient distance to stop before striking two vehicles on Sept. 6.
- Amid multiple "Too low, terrain" warnings, the NTSB summary indicates the fellow pilot never gave "a consistent verbal response" to speed warnings as the plane reached 146, 134, and 120 knots.
- Yaraisi Santiso Morejon filed a wrongful death lawsuit on Sept. 9 alleging a "series of failures" by pilots and operators, seeking damages for the death of her husband, 53-year-old Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo.
- Investigators expect to convene in the near future to review the full cockpit transcript and examine the 32-year-old aircraft's maintenance records as the NTSB determines the crash's official cause.
