Authorities on Tuesday said key braking systems did not deploy during Sunday\u2019s deadly plane crash after an Amazon cargo jet overran the runway at\u00a0Miami International Airport\u00a0and struck two vehicles, killing five people.<\/p>\n

While the aircraft\u2019s wheel brakes were applied, available data indicates that the speed brakes and thrust reversers did not, according to the\u00a0National Transportation Safety Board\u00a0(NTSB).<\/p>\n

There was \u201cno indication in the recorded data that speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed,\u201d Chihoon Shin, the NTSB investigator in charge, said.<\/p>\n

Shin said investigators plan to interview the pilots involved, adding that officials are not yet going to speculate about what should have happened during the landing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we analyze the full list of parameters, we\u2019ll have a better idea of the aircraft\u2019s performance during this landing. Was it normal? Was it not? And what was working and what was not. So I\u2019m not going to speculate on what should have been right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we need to do is talk to the crew and get their account to understand how they\u2019re manipulating the controls in order to get a better understanding of the situation,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something that we need a complete understanding of.\u201d<\/p>\n

While officials did not identify the pilots involved, NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said the captain was 55 years old and had 7,145 flight hours, according to his latest Class 1 medical certificate dated March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

The first officer was 37 years old and had 2,655 flight hours, according to his Class 1 medical certificate dated April 13, 2026, she said.<\/p>\n

Officials confirmed that no\u00a0hazardous materials\u00a0were on board and said most of the cargo consisted of contact lenses.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey did confirm there was no hazmat on board. The cargo was mainly made up of contact lenses, again weighing 32,222 pounds. And then, of course, a flight kit,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

At least five people were killed and another five were injured in Sunday\u2019s fiery crash involving Prime Air Flight 7598.<\/p>\n

Seven of the victims were in a van that was crushed on airport property. <\/p>\n

The plane then traveled through the airport fence and struck another civilian vehicle before coming to a stop near a parking lot.<\/p>\n
