NTSB officials provided the final on scene press briefing tonight on the investigation into the runway excursion of 21 Air Flight 7598 at Miami International Airport on Sunday, which left five people dead and five others injured. The Boeing 767 cargo aircraft overran the end of Runway 30 while... landing after a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Investigators said data from the final 30 seconds of the flight data recorder shows the crew released the brakes and increased engine power to a level consistent with initiating a go around for approximately four seconds before reapplying the brakes, which remained applied through the end of the recording. The NTSB expects the on scene phase of the investigation to continue for approximately one week as investigators collect additional evidence and conduct interviews. A preliminary report is expected within 30 days, while the full investigation and final report could take more than a year.show more

They had the best chance to initiate a go-around before they touched the ground, the second and last chance when they fully botched the landing on top of the approach. They chose neither. Someone's taking a lifelong break from piloting.

Once the decision is made to go around, you go around. You never try to save a bad landing that far down the runway. Unfortunate this mistake by the pilot cost five people their lives. I am sure it was not intentional but it’s a massive mistake.

I don’t see how these pilots ever fly a plane again. They initiated a go around and then changed their mind 4 seconds later.

When you were floating over the runway at 4000' you don't take the risk, go around, when your main mounts' tilt sensors aren't tripped at 5000' you go around. There were so many basic mistakes made, these pilots should never see an airplane again.

@grok is that “pilot error” basically? Explain to us nonaviators

Pilots made an awful decision that costed lives.

I don't have high hopes for any thorough investigation since it was a plane belonging to billionaire Bezos.

This is just bad.

The NTSB’s thorough process will be crucial here. Hopefully the findings drive real improvements in runway safety operations.

Will be interesting to see if these were DEI pilots.

brutal sequence

The 4-second window of increased thrust is the core puzzle here. Why did the crew momentarily attempt a go-around after touchdown, only to revert back to braking? We’ll wait for CVR and crew interviews to understand that decision.

So, my brother's kids were flying the plane...

Doesn’t take more than a year with current technology and cockpit tracking to determine the pilots are retarded lmao

@grok Who were the pilots?

Unstable approach. It was 500 feet above than expected altitude for ILS approach.

@grok who was the pilot

Why does it take a year for the report? Does anyone have insight/expertise?

Oof dah. The sensors know... @BuzzPatterson
