Pilots Attempted to Abort Landing Before Amazon Crash

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
The split-second between the abort decision and impact shows how little margin there is when landing at high speed.
💡 Why it matters
This crash will likely force stricter protocols for vehicle access near active runways and enhanced pilot training for go-around decisions.

The National Transportation Safety Board revealed that pilots of the Amazon cargo flight considered aborting landing seconds before the Boeing 767-300 overshot the runway at Miami International Airport, striking a van and killing five aircraft cleaning employees.
