The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board says it will interview the two pilots who survived the Amazon cargo jet crash on Sunday in Miami. Officials indicate the agency has already secured data from the aircraft’s voice recorder, recovered on Monday, though the contents have not been released to the public.
The statements come as investigators move to gather firsthand accounts from the flight crew, aiming to reconstruct the moments that led to the incident at Miami International Airport. The NTSB confirmed it will conduct interviews with the pilots in the near term as part of its ongoing inquiry.
Details about the flight, the exact time of the crash, and the condition of the aircraft or crew were not included in the report. The agency emphasized that information from the recovered voice recorder will be reviewed, but it has not yet been released to the media or public.
Emergency responders and airport authorities had previously responded to the scene after the jet overshot a runway, two days before the inspection involved in the latest safety proceedings. A photo accompanying the initial reports showed the damaged aircraft and responders examining the wreckage.
As the NTSB continues its investigation, authorities are likely to release findings and safety recommendations that could influence future operations and safety protocols for cargo flights. No further updates on the condition of the pilots or the aircraft have been provided in the latest bulletin.
