The pilots of the Amazon cargo plane that crashed in Miami, killing five people, were issued multiple warnings for flying “too low” to the ground — and acknowledged they were going “too fast” before they overshot the runway, officials said.
The National Transit Safety Board (NTSB) released transcripts from the Boeing 767’s cockpit voice recorder Wednesday that revealed one of the two pilots made a remark about the plane’s high rate of speed about 100 seconds before they hit the ground.
“The other pilot made additional comments regarding the aircraft’s excessive speed throughout the remainder of the recording. There was not a consistent verbal response to the comments about speed,” the NTSB said
The autopilot appears to have disconnected seconds later, according to the recording, and a “too low terrain” callout was issued electronically four times.
The recording then captured the plane landing on the runway and ”sounds similar to the aircraft departing the paved surface.”
Prime Air flight 7598 crashed on the runway at Miami International Airport around 2 p.m. Sunday before plowing into multiple vehicles and bursting into flames, officials said.
Five people died in the incident. Five others were injured, including the pilots, identified Tuesday as Felipe Silva Molina, 37, and Joseph Carroll, 55.

Yeah, that’s what coming in hot and diving for the deck will do to you.
wow ... they missed that by A LOT
multiple callouts while the pilot ignored multiple warnings and reacted poorly, coming in too hot, then raising flaps to 30% at the end with a tailwind.
Will be interesting to see what the NTSB finds out about these pilots - and how much, if anything, is released to the public.
Do we know what flavor DEI these pilots are or are they just the garden variety retards with butt plugs?
Looks like the van was just unlucky.
Sum Ting Wong, Wee To Lo, Bang Ding Ow!
White honkeys with a reasonable amount of flying time, but not much time on the 767-300.
“DEI” is not always the problem.
Read that one was a former Blackhawk pilot...............
They were not too low but too high. You can see it when the pilot flared too high off the runway.
Someone said the flaps were in the wrong position............
I'll guess it was the Captain flying and the 1st Officer warning, who probably should've added, "Go around!".
And I wonder if it was the pilot monitoring who pushed the throttles forward at the last moment and the pilot flying who pulled them back again?
I'll see what Captain Steeeve has to say about later.
