Summary

A Boeing 767 cargo jet operated by 21 Air and contracted to Amazon overran a runway at Miami International Airport on September 6, killing five people in a van on the tarmac. The NTSB preliminary report indicates the aircraft was traveling approximately 130 miles per hour when it left the runway. The jet's thrust reversers did not deploy, and speed brakes were retracted during the landing attempt. One pilot called for a go-around 15 seconds before impact. An air traffic controller failed to provide required wind advisory information to the pilots about strong tail winds, though such information had been provided to other flights. The aircraft had flown from Cincinnati to Miami and then to San Juan, Puerto Rico before returning to Miami. Reports indicate several injuries in addition to the five fatalities. Amazon suspended its partnership with 21 Air following the incident. The NTSB has not determined a cause, and the investigation remains preliminary.
