On a Sunday afternoon in Miami, a cargo jet carrying contact lenses and two experienced pilots failed to stop before the end of the runway, crossed through the airport perimeter, and struck vehicles on the ground — killing five people. Early findings from federal investigators reveal that while the wheel brakes were applied, two of the aircraft's three primary stopping systems left no trace of activation in the flight data. The investigation now turns toward the human account, as the full truth of those final moments remains suspended between the data and the crew's memory.
