The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating an incident where an Amazon Air cargo plane overran a runway at Miami International Airport, resulting in a crash that killed five people. The plane, arriving from Puerto Rico, collided with a van carrying seven people, five of whom died. The NTSB has recovered the cockpit voice and flight data recorders, which provide crucial information about the moments leading up to the crash. Initial findings suggest the plane attempted a “go-around” maneuver before the crash. The two pilots have been released from the hospital and are expected to be interviewed by investigators. The incident highlights the importance of aviation safety and the potential consequences of runway overruns.
