New NTSB Video Reveals How Far Amazon Plane Skidded Off Miami Runway
The National Transportation Safety Board released a new video that details the distance Amazon’s cargo plane slid after overshooting the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday. The footage provides a clearer picture of the aircraft’s final moments and the extent of the skid.
What the Video Shows
According to the NTSB, the Amazon cargo plane—an 8‑engine Boeing 747‑400F—overshot the runway and slid a significant distance before coming to a stop. The video captures the aircraft’s trajectory, the length of the skid, and the surrounding airport infrastructure. Analysts note that the footage helps investigators understand the forces involved and the aircraft’s behavior during the overshoot.
Impact on the Investigation
While the video does not yet explain why the plane overshot, it offers investigators a visual record that can be cross‑referenced with flight data recorders and other evidence. The NTSB will use this material to assess runway conditions, aircraft performance, and pilot actions leading up to the incident.
Broader Context
Amazon’s cargo operations have expanded rapidly, and incidents like this highlight the importance of rigorous safety protocols. The NTSB’s release of the footage underscores the agency’s commitment to transparency and thorough investigation in aviation accidents.
