The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that data from a flight recorder of an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane, operated by 21 Air, suggests pilots considered aborting a landing after touchdown in Miami. The 32-year-old Boeing 767 overran the runway by approximately 1,300 feet on Sunday, crashing into two vehicles, killing five and injuring five others. Investigators found that 19 seconds before the recording ended, the left main landing gear touched down at 134 knots, followed by a brief increase in throttle consistent with a go-around attempt, though throttles were then reduced and brakes reapplied. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy stated that investigators would interview the pilots and release cockpit voice recorder details. The NTSB noted no indication of speed brakes or thrust reversers being deployed. The plane was on its third flight of the day, originating from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
