New flight recorder data has revealed an unusual sequence of cockpit actions before an Amazon Air cargo jet crashed at Miami International Airport, killing five people, according to CNN. The Boeing 767, operated by contractor 21 Air, overshot the runway Sunday and struck vehicles and airport barriers.
The National Transportation Safety Board said two landing gear sets touched down first, while the remaining gear followed nine seconds later. Shortly afterward, the pilots released the brakes and pushed the throttles to full takeoff power before returning them to idle and braking again.
The NTSB recovered both black boxes, containing more than 400 data streams and over two hours of cockpit audio. Investigators plan to interview the pilots and review additional evidence before determining what caused the crash.
