Pilots considered aborting landing after touchdown in Miami cargo crash, NTSB says
- The Amazon Air cargo plane overran the Miami International Airport runway by about 1,300 feet, crashing into two vehicles and killing five people on the ground, according to the National Transportation Safety Board .
- Flight data showed the plane touched down at high speed, with throttles increased shortly after touchdown, suggesting the pilots may have considered aborting the landing; however, speed brakes and thrust reversers were not deployed during the landing.
- The Boeing 767 cargo plane, operated by Miami-based 21 Air, was carrying about 32,000 pounds of mainly contact lenses and was on its third flight of the day when the crash occurred.
- Both pilots survived and were treated; they will be interviewed by the NTSB before the release of cockpit voice recorder details, with investigators leading a team at Miami International Airport.
