Pilot warned Amazon cargo plane going too fast before deadly crash, data shows

A pilot onboard an Amazon cargo plane that crashed in Miami, Florida, on Sunday noted it was going too fast before it overshot a runway, crashed into other vehicles and burst into flames, new flight data shows.

The investigation update from the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said one pilot warned the other in the cockpit multiple times about "the aircraft's excessive speed" but noted "there was not a consistent verbal response", even as an altitude alarm sounded.

After it overshot the runway, the plane - Amazon Prime Air Flight 7598 - struck equipment on the ground, hit a white Ford van, then continued onward through a perimeter fence.
