Pilot Warned of Excessive Speed Before Amazon Cargo Plane Crash

A pilot aboard an Amazon cargo plane that crashed at Miami International Airport, killing five people, warned the other pilot about the aircraft's 'excessive speed' shortly before the incident, according to reports. The warning occurred roughly two minutes before the plane veered off the runway, as revealed by cockpit audio recordings and data reviewed by investigators. According to ABC News US, the pilot repeatedly emphasized the plane was coming in too fast. CBS News US noted that federal investigators are currently interviewing the pilots to determine the full sequence of events. The BBC World report added that the pilot who raised the concern received an uneven response from the other pilot, even as alarms were sounding. The crash is under investigation, with authorities seeking to understand the factors that led to the plane's loss of control. No official statements from Amazon or the National Transportation Safety Board have been released at this time.
