Air Safety Concerns Raised & Amazon Contract Now Criticized After Deadly Boeing 767 Crash
xCruzo Brief
A deadly Boeing 767 cargo crash at Miami International Airport (MIA) on September 6 is renewing scrutiny on 21 Air, a North Carolina-based operator of an Amazon Prime Air flight. The accident killed five people after the aircraft overran Runway 30, crossed airport boundaries, and struck vehicles on the ground; five others were injured. Preliminary NTSB findings also question how the crew handled an unstable landing. The 767 touched down at 158 knots (about 182 mph), briefly increased engine power consistent with an attempted go-around, then reduced throttles, resumed braking, and continued past the runway, with no indication speed brakes or thrust reversers deployed in the recorded segment.
