NTSB: Amazon cargo pilots warned of excessive speed before Miami crash

2026-09-08 13:45 UTC – 2026-09-10 12:29 UTC

Neutral summary

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has released new details from the cockpit voice and data recorders of the Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 that overran the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing five people. The data shows the pilots discussed aborting the landing and received warnings that the approach was too fast and too low; in the final seconds, one pilot warned the other they were going too fast, but the aircraft failed to stop. Investigators also found that the speed brakes and thrust reversers did not deploy, although wheel brakes were applied. Five people in a cleaning crew van died and two others were injured. The pilots survived and are expected to be interviewed by the NTSB. A lawsuit has been filed against Amazon and related parties by the families of some victims.
