Miami Cargo Plane Crash: Why Nothing Stopped the Amazon 767

The Miami cargo plane crash: why nothing stopped the Amazon Air Boeing 767 at the end of runway 30, from the NTSB's preliminary report. On September 6, 2026, 21 Air flight 7598, a Boeing 767 freighter flying for Amazon from San Juan, overran runway 30 at Miami International, struck two vehicles and killed five people on the ground. This video rebuilds the landing second by second from the NTSB's preliminary report (October 1, 2026): the crew, the wind the controller didn't give, the cockpit voice recorder's warnings ("too fast", "sink rate", "too low, terrain"), the touchdown 3,750 feet past the threshold at 160 knots, speed brakes that stayed stowed and reversers that never deployed, the go-around thrust with 930 feet left, and what lay past the end of the pavement. Then the question in the news since October 19: why there was no arresting bed (EMAS) at the end of runway 30, and what one is designed to stop. The NTSB's investigation is ongoing and its final report will give the probable cause; this video states only what the preliminary records show.
