Pilot warned Amazon cargo plane going too fast before deadly crash, data shows

A Boeing 767-300, operated by Amazon Prime Air, crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing five people and injuring five more. The aircraft's excessive speed was a major contributing factor to the accident, according to data released by the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). One pilot alerted the other to the aircraft's excessive speed, but received an inconsistent response, despite multiple warnings. The plane's landing speed was 158 knots, which is significantly higher than the recommended speed. The NTSB investigation is ongoing, with experts pointing to the flap deployment as a potential cause for the accident. Aviation attorney Pablo Rojas noted that the inconsistent response from the pilots suggests a lack of effective communication, which may have contributed to the accident. The plane struck equipment on the ground, hit a white Ford van, and then collided with a Toyota Corolla before coming to rest about 1,300ft beyond the runway.
