Flight data recorders recovered from Amazon cargo plane crash
The health status of the two pilots was not disclosed, while the five people killed were all in the two vehicles struck by the plane after it overran the runway.
MIAMI: Authorities have recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders from an Amazon cargo plane that overran the runway at Miami International Airport, killing five people on Sunday, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chief Jennifer Homendy said on Monday. One of the vehicles struck was an Econoline van carrying seven people, while the plane tore through a perimeter fence, bashing an SUV and hitting a second fence line separating an area where robotaxis were parked.
Homendy refused to disclose the health status of the two pilots but stated that the victims were limited to those in the two struck vehicles. Recovery operations are ongoing as investigators probe the crash site. The Boeing 767, manufactured in 1994 and operated by 21 Air LLC for Amazon, was on its third flight of the day, arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The plane had traveled about 1,300 feet past the runway when it came to a halt, with debris scattered and fuel spilled inside the aircraft.
