US NTSB: Amazon Cargo Plane Attempted Go-Around Before Crash

According to Sina Finance, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said a Prime Air 7598 cargo flight operated by subcontractor 21 Air attempted a go-around before crashing at Miami International Airport on Sunday. The board said the Boeing 767 overshot the runway, struck two vehicles, and killed five people and injured five others who were inside those vehicles. The NTSB released details from the cockpit voice recorder on Wednesday night, saying one pilot warned that the aircraft was too fast on approach and that the onboard computer issued repeated "sink rate" and "terrain" warnings. The recorder then captured a sound consistent with touchdown, followed by a pilot calling for a go-around, and five seconds later the sound of the aircraft leaving the paved runway. The flight had arrived from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. After leaving the runway, the aircraft continued about a quarter mile beyond the paved surface, hit airport navigation equipment, then struck a white Ford Econoline van carrying a seven-person cleaning crew inside the airport perimeter and later a Toyota compact SUV on a road outside the fence.
