Well, I’d say one would be brakes when you’ve already gone off the end of the runway at over 100 mph...

three useless things: runway behind me, altitude above me and fuel on the ground.

Still not correct. About 90 % of travel is within your home area. Air travel is safer than auto travel. About 35,000 deaths per year to auto. You do not have that with air travel.

A Boeing 767 freighter overran Runway 30 at Miami on September 6, 2026, killing five people and injuring several others. In this video, I break down the available ADS-B data, the aircraft’s unstable approach, excessive speed, glidepath deviation, touchdown point, weather conditions, and the systems that may have affected its ability to stop.

The data depicts a 767 that was high and fast throughout the final approach, at one point more than 500 feet above a normal 3-degree glidepath while still carrying excessive speed. We also look at the sudden wind shift near the time of the accident, including a tailwind component on Runway 30, and estimate how that may have increased the landing distance required.

The aircraft appears to have touched down roughly 3,500 feet beyond the displaced threshold at about 167 knots groundspeed, leaving just over 4,300 feet of runway remaining. I also examine how delayed or inhibited spoiler deployment, thrust reversers, wheel-speed sensing, and air-ground logic could have further reduced the airplane’s ability to decelerate after touchdown.
