Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are examining the crash of an Amazon cargo plane at Miami International Airport that resulted in the deaths of five people on the ground. The crash occurred after the plane overshot the runway. The pilots, Captain Joseph Carroll and First Officer Jaime Felipe Silva Molina, who have extensive flight experience, were released from the hospital and are scheduled for interviews as part of the investigation. Both the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder have been recovered, providing crucial information for the investigation. The NTSB is also gathering evidence from the crash site, including drone images and runway tire marks, and plans to interview air traffic controllers and other witnesses. The plane, carrying mostly contact lenses, showed no signs of hazardous materials. Investigators noted that speed brakes and thrust reversers were not deployed, but the reasons remain unclear. The investigation aims to understand the circumstances leading to the crash.
