NTSB releases cockpit audio and flight data showing cargo plane approached Miami runway too fast before fatal crash

The crash resulted in five fatalities and five injuries, prompting an ongoing federal investigation into cockpit communication, aircraft configuration, and weather factors during landing.

• •A cargo plane careened off a Miami runway and killed five people who were inside a van belonging to a plane cleaning company.
• •For nearly two minutes before landing and after touchdown, one pilot repeatedly warned their counterpart that they were going too fast.
• •A summary of cockpit voice recordings indicates the fellow pilot never gave a consistent verbal response to the speed warnings.
• •The plane overran the end of the runway by roughly 1,300 feet (396 meters), struck the van, hit a compact SUV on a public road, and caught fire.
• •Five people were injured in the crash, including two who remained in critical condition on Tuesday.
• •Both pilots survived the crash and were interviewed by investigators on Wednesday.
• •Flight data recorder information shows the plane was unsteady during its approach amid strong winds, and pilots briefly disengaged brakes and pushed throttles up before abandoning a takeoff attempt four seconds later.
• •Flightradar24 estimated that the plane touched down nearly halfway down the 9,360-foot runway.
• •The 32-year-old Boeing 767 was originally built for passengers, converted to a cargo plane in 2015, and operated by 21 Air.
• •The NTSB is reviewing the jet's ownership history, weather conditions, maintenance records, and operations by 21 Air.
