Amazon plane crash: Investigators hunt for what went wrong after cargo plane crashed in Miami, killing at least 5

Federal investigators probe Amazon cargo jet's runway crash that killed 5 MIAMI -- Federal investigators examining why an Amazon cargo jet barreled off a runway at Miami International Airport and into vehicles, killing at least five people, are likely to focus on a crucial moment in the landing: whether the plane touched down too late to stop safely. NTSB chair calls Amazon cargo plane crash scene ‘devastating’ and says flight and voice recorders have been recovered. Video of Sunday’s landing appears to show the Boeing 767 remaining airborne well down the runway before touching down. Aviation experts said investigators will seek to determine exactly where the plane landed and, if it was beyond the normal touchdown zone, why the pilots did not abandon the landing and circle back for another attempt. Investigators will also examine the plane’s speed and braking, weather and wind conditions, the aircraft’s mechanical condition and other factors that could have contributed to the deadly overrun.
