The pilot of the Amazon cargo plane that ran off the runway in Miami warned a colleague in the cockpit that the aircraft was going too fast, according to recently released cockpit recordings. The aircraft veered off the runway for unknown reasons last weekend, resulting in five fatalities. In the two minutes preceding the accident, the pilot repeatedly cautioned that they were approaching the runway at an excessive speed, even urging the other pilot to abort the landing. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released details from the recordings after interviewing both pilots, with a full transcript pending further investigation. Investigators noted a lack of clear response from the other pilot regarding the speed warnings, as well as multiple alerts indicating the Boeing 767 was flying too low. Experts suggest a lack of coordination and failure to follow flight manual guidelines may have contributed to the crash, which impacted a vehicle from a cleaning company and a vehicle owned by Miami International Airport.
