NTSB to release readout from cockpit voice recorder following Amazon cargo plane crash that killed 5
The National Transportation Safety Board released cockpit voice recordings from an Amazon Air cargo plane that overran a runway at Miami International Airport. The transcripts confirm pilots recognized the aircraft had excessive speed before the crash. Ground crews have begun removing parts of the plane overnight as part of the ongoing investigation into the accident that killed five people. This evidence follows previous data indicating braking systems failed to deploy during the pilots' attempt to abort the landing.
