NTSB Preliminary Report Details Engine Fire in Fatal Miami Cargo Plane Crash
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released its preliminary report on the fatal crash of a Boeing 767-300F near Miami International Airport on September 15. The report confirms that the flight crew declared an emergency due to an engine fire shortly after takeoff. Both pilots were killed in the accident as they attempted to return to the airport. Data from the flight recorders indicated a rapid loss of thrust from the right engine, consistent with the crew's report. The NTSB's investigation is ongoing, with a focus on the engine's maintenance history and potential mechanical failures. A final report determining the probable cause is expected within 12 to 24 months.
