Five people were killed and five injured when an Amazon cargo plane crashed on landing at Miami International Airport. They were in two vehicles on the ground, investigators said.



The Boeing 767-300, operated by 21 Air, overshot the runway on Sunday and hit an airline cleaning van holding seven people before breaking the perimeter fence and striking a Toyota SUV with three inside.

The National Transportation Safety Board said on Tuesday that evidence recovered from the ​Amazon Prime Air 767 flight data recorder suggested the pilots considered aborting the landing *after the aircraft touched down.

The NTSB said ⁠30 seconds before the end of the flight data recording, the nose landing gear and ​right main landing gear touched down on the runway at a speed of 158 knots (181 ​mph), while 19 seconds before the end of the recording, the left main landing gear touched down at a speed of 134 knots.

A few seconds later, the brakes were released and the throttles were increased to ​values consistent with go-around thrust, indicating a late attempt to abort the landing and ​get back in the air.

But 11 seconds before the end of the recording, throttles were reduced to idle *power ⁠and brakes were reapplied. The final ground speed was 65 knots at the end of the recording.

The NTSB said there was no indication in the recorded data that speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed to help slow the plane.

NTSB Chair ​Jennifer Homendy told reporters that investigators would interview both of the pilots on ​Wednesday and then release details from the cockpit voice recorder.

Homendy is leading a team of 32 ​investigators at Miami International ​Airport. She said ⁠the NTSB was able to release one of two runways closed since the accident to allow for departures from an easterly direction late ​on Tuesday.

The Amazon cargo plane was on its third flight of ​the day, coming ⁠from San Juan, Puerto Rico. It had flown from Cincinnati to Miami and from Miami to San Juan earlier on Sunday before the crash at 1:53 p.m. EDT (1753 GMT).

The captain, 55, ⁠received his ​type rating for the 767 in May and has ​7,145 hours of flight time, while the first officer, 37, received his type rating on the 767 in April ​2025 and has 2,655 flying hours, the NTSB said.
