NTSB reveals if crew survived Amazon cargo jet disaster

The two crew members aboard the Amazon cargo jet that crashed at Miami International Airport survived the accident, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said the Boeing 767 struck two vehicles during its runway overrun, killing five people and injuring five others. Seven victims were inside a cleaning company van that was reportedly torn apart in the collision. The aircraft later crossed the airport perimeter and hit a civilian Toyota before continuing through grass and another fence line near an area where Tesla robotaxis were stationed.

Investigators said the plane traveled about 1,300 feet beyond the paved surface, leaving extensive wreckage and damaging airport equipment and fencing. The aircraft had completed flights between Cincinnati, Miami and San Juan before the crash.

The NTSB has recovered both the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder as investigators work to determine what caused the disaster.

Describing the scene, Homendy said, “You can see components from vehicles, both passenger vehicles and the aircraft itself.”

She added, “I would describe it in one word, devastating, utter devastation.”

“I mean, you can see on the paved surface, tire marks that continue through the grass. There's debris everywhere.”
