NTSB Recovers Black Boxes from Amazon Cargo Plane Crash in Miami

On Sunday, an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane crashed while landing at Miami International Airport, resulting in the deaths of five individuals on the ground. The Boeing 767-33A, operated by 21 Air LLC from Miami, overshot the runway by about 396 meters (1,300 feet) and collided with two vehicles: a Toyota SUV on a road beyond the perimeter fence and an Econoline van that was transporting seven airline cleaning crew members. While the two pilots survived, they have yet to be interviewed. NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy, who is heading a team of 32 investigators, informed reporters on Monday that the flight data and cockpit voice recorders were being sent to Washington for analysis. She described the crash site as exhibiting 'utter devastation' and emphasized that a probable cause would only be established after the investigation is complete. Five individuals sustained injuries, with three in critical condition. The aircraft was 32 years old, and the inquiry is still in progress.
