Investigators have retrieved the flight recorders from an Amazon cargo plane that crashed at Miami International Airport, killing five people and seriously injuring five others. The Boeing 767-300, operated by 21 Air, overshot the runway while landing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and collided with two vehicles, including a cleaning van and a Toyota. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is prioritizing the recovery of victims and has not yet determined the cause of the crash, as they are still in the evidence-gathering phase. The plane’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders are being analyzed, and investigators will review the flight history, crew experience, and weather conditions, among other factors. The NTSB will also assess whether the runway should have had an engineered materials arresting system (EMAS) to prevent such incidents. The agency has called for public assistance in providing any photos or videos that might aid the investigation, emphasizing their goal to prevent future tragedies.
