An Amazon cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday after overshooting the runway by approximately 396–400 metres (1,300 feet). The aircraft struck a van carrying plane-cleaning workers and an SUV, killing five people and injuring five others. The two pilots survived. NTSB investigators released cockpit recordings on Wednesday showing one pilot repeatedly warned of excessive speed beginning nearly two minutes before landing, while the other pilot did not consistently respond to the warnings.
