In the final seconds before an Amazon cargo jet overran a Miami runway, the flight crew recognized danger and did what their training demanded — they reached for the sky, pushing the engines to full power in a last attempt to abort the landing. The aircraft did not respond. Braking systems failed to deploy, the plane could not be stopped or lifted, and five people working in a van near the runway perimeter were killed. The NTSB's unfolding investigation now asks not whether the pilots failed, but why the machine did.
