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.
A Boeing 767 cargo plane operated by 21 Air LLC, contracted to Amazon, crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing five people. The flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorder have been recovered and sent to the National Transportation Safety Board for analysis. The NTSB chief, Jennifer Homendy, stated that the victims were limited to the people in two vehicles struck by the plane.
The plane overshot the runway, crashed into two vehicles, tore through a perimeter fence, and damaged an SUV and robotaxis parked nearby. Homendy described the scene as devastating, with debris, spilled fuel, and the torn Econoline van containing seven people as victims. The plane was a 1994 model and was on its third flight of the day from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
