NTSB: Amazon Prime Air Pilot Warned 'Too Fast' Before Fatal Miami Crash
AMZN sits 29% above its 52-week low of $196.
Summary
The NTSB released preliminary cockpit voice and flight data findings from the fatal Amazon Prime Air crash in Miami that killed five and injured five. A pilot warned the aircraft was 'too fast' about 1:42 before the recording ended, with additional speed warnings and four 'too low terrain' alerts. A go-around was called 15 seconds before impact. The Boeing 767, operated by 21Air LLC, overshot the runway by 1,300 feet and struck two vehicles. This is the first detailed account of pilot actions and warnings, adding operational risk context to Amazon's air cargo network. Boeing is also involved as the aircraft manufacturer, but Amazon is the primary operator and faces reputational and potential liability exposure. Watch for further NTSB findings and any operational changes to Prime Air.
