According to a witness account reported by CBS News, one of the pilots involved in the Amazon cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport was visibly shaken and distressed after exiting the cockpit. Abraham Altamar, who was nearby and witnessed the fiery incident, described the pilot as shaking, with minor injuries to his forehead and hand. The pilot requested to use Altamar’s phone to call his wife, expressing that he was physically unharmed but emotionally distraught, reportedly stating, “My career is over” [1].

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting an investigation into the crash, which resulted in the deaths of five individuals in two vehicles struck by the plane after it overshot the runway. The NTSB has recovered the aircraft’s black boxes and is analyzing the data. Additionally, the investigation will examine the potential implementation of Engineered Materials Arresting Systems (EMAS) at airports, a safety feature designed to stop aircraft that overrun runways, though the specific runway in question already has a 1,000-foot safety area [1].
